After a thorough review of available systems, Eventide has been identified as the most suitable replacement based on its proven reliability, user-friendly interface, and advanced capabilities, including the Critical Insights package, which will significantly improve our ability to automate quality assurance reviews and streamline public records searches and redactions. Eventide Communications’ Critical Insights AI (CI AI) is AI-driven training, automated QA, and operational analytics for public safety communications.

CI AI also supports workforce wellbeing and retention through stress monitoring, automated transcription and reporting, AI call summaries, and recognition of exemplary 911 calls. The solution for the Mesa Police Dispatch and the Mesa Public Safety Support Department - Call Taking, will replace an end-of-life Verint system while the solution for Mesa Fire and Medical will be an upgrade to their existing Eventide solution.
