Spok, Inc. today announced that the Polk County Sheriff’s Office
in Winter Haven, Fla., has selected its critical alerting solution
to enhance emergency communications among first responders and
other employees. The new solution will allow county staff to
quickly and reliably reach emergency responders, the sheriff’s
office, and specialized teams such as SWAT and underwater search
and rescue.
“We wanted a new solution that we could count on for
dependability and flexibility,” said a representative from the Polk
County Sheriff's Office IT division. A top consideration was swift
communication with teams: “We were interested in having the ability
to reach customized groups, either via email or text, and the Spok®
solution makes that very easy.”
As the fourth largest county in Florida, with more than 2,000
square miles including 550 lakes, Polk County needed a critical
communications system that could handle a variety of demands and
reach mobile staff members in a number of ways. Spok’s critical
alerting solution, with its robust, flexible design and ease of use
with a range of communication devices, more than fit the
organization’s needs.
“The Spok solution consistently performs well and has greatly
enhanced our response capabilities,” said the representative. Some
of the important benefits include the ability to speed response to
emergency situations with well-coordinated mobile communications,
to connect alerts to mobile devices for efficient staff
notifications, and provide a full audit trail with date and time
stamps to retrace steps.
With the Spok solution, reaching mobile team members quickly can
improve overall workflow and staff productivity. Fast delivery of
important alerts to the people who can act on them provides a safer
community and a safer working environment for responders.
