The Destination for Public Safety Apps
Apps for public safety are growing at an impressive rate – which is why APCO International decided to launch a dedicated online application community. Jose Sanchez spoke with Jeff Cohen, APCO’s Chief Counsel for Law and Policy, and Mark Reddish, Government Relations Associate, to find out more about AppComm.
Back in 2011 a report by MarketsandMarkets (‘World Mobile Applications Market 2010 – 2015’) said that the total global mobile applications market was expected to be worth $25 billion by 2015. Yet in June this year another report by ABI Research suggested the mobile app market could be worth as much as $27 billion by the end of this year. With real sales outpacing predictions for the mobile app market it is obvious the time has come for the public safety environment to embrace this new world – or are at least stop pretending it doesn’t exist.
