Mapping Unlocks Insights to Enhance Site Management in Public Safety
Mission-critical infrastructure powers public safety every day, and managing it across a city, county, or state is no small task. Mapping fixed sites adds powerful location-based context to your records, so you can better plan, maintain, and respond.
map what matters—no GPS required
Mcmtech's mapping tool displays your infrastructure on an interactive Google map using stored latitude and longitude coordinates. Seeing where your fixed mission-critical structures are in relation to one another—or to a given location—helps you plan and respond more effectively. This isn’t live tracking. It's a visual, practical way to manage what’s always there, whether it’s radio sites, BDA/DAS systems, firehouses, supply warehouses, or substations.
click for context—your context
Clicking on a pin opens a user-defined snapshot of that location, so you see the details that matter most to your team. For example:
- communications teams might display radio site access information, next or last inspection date, FCC license info, BDA/DAS locations
- fire departments may include water capture, oxygen tanks, chargers for comms, mutual aid capabilities, hazmat designation
- law enforcement may view quartermaster locations, armories, fleet shops, militarized or specialized gear stores, mobile command vehicles, jails, critical buildings
- utility teams can reference substation specs, voltage current + frequency, access instructions, next maintenance date
The ability to access location-specific information with a single click saves time and improves clarity—especially across large service areas or multi-agency operations.
plan smarter
Mapped locations can be filtered by work order status, giving teams a fast way to identify hotspots, prioritize fieldwork, and plan technician routes more efficiently. Whether you're coordinating inspections, addressing outages, or staying ahead of preventative maintenance, having spatial context streamlines planning and response.
Mcmtech’s mapping feature offers Google's multiple views to support real-world fieldwork planning even further.
- street view provides a ground-level look at surroundings, helping teams determine access points and vehicle size limitations
- satellite view helps identify which site is nearest and most accessible for fast response
- terrain view reveals elevation or landscape factors that could add time and logistical challenges
These perspectives give your team a more complete understanding of each location before anyone even steps foot on site.
it matters for public safety + utilities
You rely on static infrastructure to power dynamic operations. It’s not just about seeing what’s where. It's about the big picture. A strong public safety operation isn’t built on any one tower, warehouse, or firehouse—it’s the sum of many interconnected parts working together. Being able to see how multiple sites in your system physically fit into a community or region—and how those pieces relate to each other—brings clarity, coordination, and insight you can’t get from spreadsheets alone.
With mapping, you gain the visibility and spatial awareness to work smarter—not harder. See what mapping can look like for your agency today.
Multi-site mapping is limited to cloud-hosted customers and on-prem customers that can provide a Google API key.
