Haystax for Public Safety

Law enforcement professionals are called upon daily to perform a broad range of tasks—from routine patrols, intelligence gathering and investigations to major crime and incident responses. Their challenge is to ensure public safety despite incomplete intelligence, limited cross-jurisdictional information sharing, and tight budgets. Haystax helps law enforcement agencies prepare for and respond to any crisis with a dynamic picture of emerging threats, rapid  intelligence-collection and incident-reporting tools, and a seamlessly integrated user environment that  ensures maximum collaboration and analytically sound command decisions for rapid response.

Haystax for Enterprise Security

Haystax has developed a suite of applications designed specifically to help corporate security decision-makers and analysts navigate this challenging environment. Haystax alerts corporate leaders to their most likely threats and natural hazards, provides critical security and operational information about each physical facility, regardless of its size or geographic location, and allows risk managers to identify and mitigate their biggest vulnerabilities. Moreover, the Haystax platform enables security teams to manage incidents and major events—from the ops center or out in the field.

Equipped with these insights, CSOs can better anticipate their risks, communicate with leadership and limit their company’s exposure to financial, legal and reputational liabilities.

Haystax Product Update: Next-Gen Field Reporting

October 4, 2018

Police patrols, school resource officers and other field-deployed personnel who need to share intelligence and incident reports with their commanders now can use a new mobile app — Field Reports — in the Haystax analytics platform.

The Field Reports app (see images below left and right) is the next generation of the Haystax Mobile Indicator, which users in the first-responder community have long relied on to submit incident alerts, status reports and other observations from the field during events and routine patrol operations. Such reports from the field are a vital source of domain awareness in all Haystax safety and security solutions.

Traditional Mobile Indicator reporting categories have been migrated to the new app, including suspicious vehicles or packages, surveillance activities, trespassing, accidents and more — and new categories can be added to the list. An alert typically is submitted with a selected category plus supporting text information (talk-to-text can be used to enter the information) and photos. All submissions are automatically geo-tagged and time-stamped.

Field Reports submissions are displayed instantly in the cloud-based Haystax web application, where intelligence analysts can search and sort, and cross-reference new alerts with existing data. Individual field reports (see image below) may be edited and updated as needed, and each can be ‘promoted’ to a full Haystax incident if deemed appropriate. Users can generate custom-sorted or -filtered reports from the full list, or simply view incoming alerts on the Haystax map interface in context with other domain information such as critical assets and scheduled events.

Among the advantages of new Field Reports app are: 1) Tight integration with the Mobile Haystax suite of apps; 2) Template-driven, so that each tenant can have its own defined dropdown menu of observation categories (some tenant configurations accommodate more than one template at a time); 3) Individual observation categories can generate custom icons on the Haystax map.

The Mobile Haystax app for Android currently supports Field Reports, and iOS Mobile Haystax support is coming soon. Existing users with system administrator rights can add it to their Haystax tenants with a few short clicks. Also, the app is compatible with tenants using single-sign-on (SSO).
