New Jersey State Police maintains operational control with closed-loop situational awareness

Haystax provides New Jersey with the Constellation map, a ‘watch-board’ for monitoring context-specific threats in real time. Specialized field intelligence teams are also equipped with mobile apps to work as a unit in submitting timely field incident reports. Prior to the Haystax system, many response organizations and even the command centers would often find out about major incidents from news and social media sources. After the system was put in place, situational awareness and real-time response planning have improved significantly across the entire region. In many cases information that could take up to 60 minutes or more to reach decision-makers is now available through Constellation in seconds.
