💙 A Message of Thanks on National First Responders Day Today, we honor the people who step into uncertainty so others don’t have to. The firefighters, paramedics, law enforcement officers, and 911 telecommunicators who answer every call with courage, compassion, and commitment. To every first responder: Thank You! You carry our communities through their hardest moments, and your impact reaches further than you’ll ever know. This year, we invited students and the children of our team members to help us say thank you in their own words. 🎥 Watch the short video below for a heartfelt tribute to those who serve on the front lines and behind the scenes. 📖 You can also explore more student artwork, including this year’s art contest and mural winner, and top submissions from the 911 Heroes Art Contest, in our full blog post: https://lnkd.in/gsgZRWNA #NationalFirstRespondersDay #911HeroesArtContest #PublicSafety #NextGen911 #EveryMomentMatters #NCT911 #MissionMatters #Solvingforsafer #MotorolaSolutions

Happy National First Responders Day! We are proud to honor all first responders and emergency professionals–from the responders in the field to the 911 telecommunicators guiding help from behind the scenes, every role plays a part in helping to save lives. This year, we celebrate their impact through the creativity of the next generation. In partnership with North Central Texas Emergency Communications District | NCT9-1-1 we invited K–12 students across North Central Texas to create artwork honoring their local heroes. More than 600 students participated in the 2025 911 Heroes Art Contest, and today, we’re thrilled to announce our mural winner: Selene M., an 8th grader from Dublin Secondary School! Selene's piece stood out for its creativity, emotional depth, and message of unity across all branches of public safety, including the critical role of 911. Congratulations Selene! The artwork will be transformed into a public mural in North Texas in 2026, a lasting tribute to the people who answer the call. 🖼️ Take a look at the winning piece below. And thank you, first responders, for your outstanding service and for the positive impact you’ve made in so many lives. If your favorite artwork wasn’t selected, there’s still more to come! We’ll be highlighting additional student artists in future announcements, so stay tuned… #NationalFirstRespondersDay #911HeroesArtContest #PublicSafety #NextGen911 #EveryMomentMatters #NCT911 #MissionMatters #Solvingforsafer #MotorolaSolutions

🚁 A hiker stranded on the Rubicon Trail. A dirt bike crash deep inside an Off-Highway Vehicle park. People stuck in the middle of a river with no way to describe where they are. These are three harrowing scenes among countless rescues Cal Fire navigates daily, all with the help of RapidDeploy’s’ Radius Mapping. Cal Fire ECC telecommunicators use RapidDeploy’s Radius Mapping and RapidLocate to pinpoint exactly where help is needed, even in areas with poor cell service or no clear landmarks. One telecommunicator shared how these tools helped guide air, ground, and water crews to patients in life-threatening situations: “The coordinates we got from RapidDeploy were extremely accurate. We’ve had praise from California Highway Patrol, local Sheriff’s Departments, and fire crews. It’s helped us reach people faster, when they needed it most.” 📍 Real-time maps. Satellite views. Accurate coordinates. That’s the difference between searching and finding. 🔗 Learn how RapidDeploy supports teams like Cal Fire: https://hubs.ly/Q03PWKgN0 #PublicSafety #CalFire #SearchAndRescue #RubiconTrail #RapidDeploy #RadiusMapping #NextGen911 #MissionMatters #EveryMomentMatters #EmergencyResponse #GovTech #CHP #Solvingforsafer

Did you know that despite 80% of U.S. teachers being confident in their school's emergency plans, over half (57%) still rely on calling the main office via a classroom phone in an emergency? This manual step means critical 911 intelligence may be trapped across isolated systems, a fragmentation that acts as a threat multiplier when lives are on the line. Discover how the partnership between RapidDeploy and Rave Mobile Safety, both part of the Motorola Solutions ecosystem, eliminates this friction using Next Generation 911 technology to create an immediate, intelligent response in any school emergency. 📄 Read our latest blog post to learn more: https://hubs.ly/Q03PKH0M0 #SchoolSafety #RapidDeploy #RaveMobileSafety #PublicSafety #EmergencyResponse #911Telecommunicator #EveryMomentMatters #MissionMatters #MotorolaSolutions #Solvingforsafer
