We’re heading to the 2026 Florida Sheriffs Association Sheriffs Summer Conference, July 26–29.

This annual event brings together sheriffs, command staff, law enforcement professionals, elected officials, and public safety partners from across Florida to share best practices and discuss the future of law enforcement.

Stop by Booth 423 to meet the HigherGround team and learn how Live911 provides first responders with real-time access to incoming 911 calls—helping improve situational awareness and support a more informed response when every second matters.

We look forward to connecting with Florida’s law enforcement community.

Drowning incidents aren't measured in minutes.

They're measured in seconds.

Recently, Volusia County Beach Safety responded to a drowning-in-progress call along Florida's Atlantic coast.

Using Live911, rescue personnel received the call in real time at 1:05:58—more than a minute before dispatch was broadcast.

As responders moved toward the incident, they listened to critical details directly from the caller.

The result?

A swimmer caught in a rip current was rescued and safely brought to shore.

According to veteran lifeguards on scene, the victim likely had only 30 seconds remaining.

Across 47 miles of coastline and approximately 3,000 rescues each year, Volusia County Beach Safety continues to demonstrate how real-time information can help save lives when every second counts.

Public safety agencies generate thousands of hours of mission-critical audio every day, but finding the right information can take hours.

Today at NENA 2026, HigherGround is introducing AutoCall Transcribe

Our new AI-powered capability that converts live and recorded calls into accurate, searchable, time-synchronized text so agencies can:

• Accelerate investigations
• Improve quality assurance processes
• Enhance training and supervision
• Gain faster access to critical information

It’s a major step toward AI-driven call intelligence for Public Safety.

School safety requires immediate awareness and rapid response.

With Live911’s Campus Alert feature, agencies can establish geofenced zones around schools and government facilities that automatically livestream relevant 911 calls to nearby officers.

That means officers can begin responding while the call is still being processed — providing critical time advantages during high-risk situations.

See Sgt. Tony Molina from Chula Vista PD explains how this improves response in school emergencies. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQr2IcLrU5A

In case you missed it: our Live911 Tech Talk featuring Martin Bennett, Executive Director of Cook County Emergency Communications, is now available to watch on demand.

During the session, Martin shared how the Cook County Sheriff’s Police 911 Center is using Live911 across 28 agencies to deliver real-time 911 call information directly to officers in the field — helping improve situational awareness, support faster decision-making, and strengthen emergency response.

Cook County’s consolidated communications environment serves more than 390,000 residents, generates 1.2 million CAD incidents annually, and processes an average of 2,300 calls per day.

In emergency response, seconds matter.

Traditionally, officers may not hear about a 911 call until it has been processed, entered into CAD, and broadcast over the radio — often 60 to 120 seconds later.
Live911 changes that by securely livestreaming 911 calls directly to first responders in real time.

The result:
• Faster response
• Better situational awareness
• Improved decision-making before arrival
Live911 allows officers to hear emergency calls as they happen, helping them arrive better informed and better prepared. In many cases, officers can begin responding in seconds instead of minutes.
