The U.S. Department of the Interior recently rolled out a massive new Enterprise Public Safety Platform across its vast network of law enforcement bureaus and public lands. This transition replaces outdated, paper-based systems with a unified, cloud-native records management and dispatch infrastructure.

The goal is to enhance officer safety, improve interoperability, and enable real-time data sharing across thousands of officers and hundreds of locations nationwide. This move represents a major push toward efficiency and advanced digital operations in federal policing.
