"Over 80 percent of people in the United States own and use smartphones as their primary means of communication," OCV Partner and CRO Kevin Cummings said. "Mobile apps offer agencies a better way to alert, inform and prepare the public. Apps allow public safety agencies the ability to reach and serve their citizens where they are: their smartphones."
