Mark43, the leading cloud-native based public safety software company, and a 2020 Platinum ‘ASTORS’ Homeland Security Award Winner, has launched a new offering for law enforcement agencies with 50 or fewer sworn personnel across the U.S.

This brand new Mark43 RMS Essentials solution allows agencies to leverage all of the best parts of Mark43 RMS at a lower cost while still providing quick deployment and streamlined federal and state-specific NIBRS compliance.

Mark43 RMS Essentials fills the need for law enforcement agencies who are in search of modern technology but can’t necessarily budget for expensive purchases like major municipalities can.

The offering equips departments with the market-defining features of the Mark43 platform and Records Management System (RMS): robust public safety software, industry-leading project implementation management, and premier customer support.

Now, any agency can tap into the extraordinary features of Mark43’s platform without the financial burden, which offers a vital option for the 10,000-plus police agencies across the U.S. comprised of 50 or fewer sworn personnel.

“Mark43 RMS provides the fastest, most pleasant law enforcement report-writing experience possible,” explained Florian Mayr, Co-Founder and Head of Product at Mark43.

“With Mark43 RMS Essentials, we’re removing the barrier of cost to the modern technologies law enforcement agencies need in order to do their jobs efficiently, safely, and effectively–without sacrificing functionality.”

Why reduced-cost product offerings like this have a long-standing impact on law enforcement’s ability to do their jobs safely, effectively, and efficiently:

• As public safety missions continue to evolve, Mark43 is dedicated to offering solutions for agencies nationwide, no matter their size.

• Our goal with Mark43 RMS Essentials is to remove typical barriers, like cost, to quality technology.

• This enables law enforcement agencies with 50 sworn personnel or less to get leading software that fits their budget – software that gets users out of the report-writing room and back in the field.

Insight into Mark43 RMS Essential’s functionality: 

• Mark43 RMS Essentials provides a range of services to better equip law enforcement agencies with 50 or fewer sworn personnel across the U.S., which is vital for the 10,000-plus agencies of that size.

• These agencies require complete report-writing, case management, and analytics tools like any larger agency.

• That’s what we’re giving them with Mark43 RMS Essentials.

• The offering ensures a seamless implementation process through the guarantees of quick and easy deployment, interactive walkthroughs, and premier customer support.

Why this is a strategic move from a business perspective:

• By providing a new offering designed for smaller agencies in the U.S., we’ve begun to make inroads into a previously underserved market.

• There are 10,000-plus law enforcement agencies in the U.S. with 50 or fewer personnel.

• The opportunity to be able to capably support any law enforcement agency is incredibly exciting.

In addition to the aforementioned services, Mark43 RMS Essentials provides powerful analytical capabilities, supplying dashboard and statistical reporting functionality through the Mark43 Business Intelligence Suite.

Additionally, Mark43 RMS Essentials includes advanced investigations functionality for industry-leading case management.

Mark43 was purpose-built in the cloud to ensure its software is constantly updated, guaranteeing that the technologies respond to the changing needs of its customers.

Mark43 Takes Platinum in 2020 ‘ASTORS’ Homeland Security Awards Program

American Security Today’s ‘ASTORS’ Homeland Security Awards program is today in its Sixth Year and continues to recognize the Outstanding Innovations of top firms and agencies in the Homeland Security and Public Safety fields.

2020 has been a very challenging year for everyone due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the much heralded AST ‘ASTORS’ Awards Winners Presentations and exclusive Luncheon at the Jacob Javits Center in NYC has been canceled and rescheduled for 2021 due to the virus.

However, the 2020 ‘ASTORS’  Homeland Security Awards Program was again a huge success and many new categories were added including a section for COVID-19 Detection and Innovation.

Best COVID-19 Communications Solution (Tie)

• Pandemic Preparedness Package

• In April 2020, Mark43, a leading cloud-based public safety software company, rolled out its Pandemic Preparedness Package for any interested public safety agency in the United States.

• The software package enables agencies to seamlessly capture data on how COVID-19 is affecting the agency itself and the community which it protects and serves.

• While Mark43’s software typically costs hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars (one of their latest contracts was $3.6 million, for example), the company’s Pandemic Preparedness Package is an entirely free one-year offering.

• During the COVID-19 pandemic, local police and first responders found themselves struggling to understand the scope of the pandemic in their own communities and track the virus’s impact amongst their own ranks.

• In record time, Mark43 created the Pandemic Preparedness Package that includes Potential Exposure Reports, an Exposure Status Update Report, and a COVID-19 Potential Exposure Dashboard, which allows first responders to record instances where they may have been exposed to COVID-19 so that they can take appropriate distancing measures.

• The technology seamlessly addresses a number of pandemic-specific pain points for agencies, including workforce management, documentation for benefits and posterity, and data tracking for FEMA reimbursement requests to cover costs expended during national disasters, and Mark43’s technology adheres to the highest government standards for security, confidentiality, and availability.

• Mark43’s Pandemic Preparedness Package embodies the highest caliber technical innovation developed specifically to help public safety agencies and their communities in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

• *Mark43 was also recognized in the 2019 ‘ASTORS’ Homeland Security Awards Program.

Public safety has changed in the last 30 years. Technology vendors haven’t.

Mark43 provides a refreshing, battle-tested, enterprise implementation experience and product for over 120 public safety agencies of all sizes, with a special competency for major agencies.

The cloud-native products are built only with the most modern technologies and are constantly updated, guaranteeing that the platform always outpaces the rest of the market.
