Techniques for executing additional analytics at an access control point are provided. A target at an access control point attempting to traverse the access control point is identified. The target is provided an indication that traversal of the access control point is delayed. Additional analytics resources are directed to the access control point. Additional analytics are run on the target using the additional analytics resources. The target is allowed to traverse the access control point once the additional analytics have completed.
A communication system, method and device are provided for managing a post-incident response. The system includes a security system controller having a processor configured to receive a notification that a mass incident event, such as an active shooter event, has ended and send a prompt requesting in-room victim status information to a plurality of in-room communication device of the building. Analytics are performed by the processor on the received in-room victim status information to determine room priority. A post-incident workflow is triggered that generates a plurality of control signals indicative of each room priority and in-room victim status for each room. The plurality of control signals are sent to chirp generators of door access control devices associated with each room of the building. Each control signal controls chirp playout indicative of the room priority and victim status. A mutual aid responder, without access to a radio, can follow the audible chirps.

Method of generating a trigger initiating an emergency incident response workflow
A computer-implemented method of generating a trigger initiating an emergency incident response workflow and a device implementing the method is disclosed. Emergency notification data associated with at least one emergency notification reporting a first incident is received. Based on the emergency notification data, a first sensor data originating from one or more sensors is retrieved, the first sensor data associated with a time and location of the first incident. At least one alarm-escalating trigger is generated. The alarm escalating trigger comprises an alarm-escalating condition and a first-type emergency incident response workflow, the alarm-escalating condition being based on at least a portion of the first sensor data. The alarm-escalating trigger, when implemented by an implementing device, triggers the first-type emergency incident response workflow in response to receiving a second sensor data originating from one or more implementing sensors, the second sensor data meeting the alarm-escalating condition.

DEVICE, SYSTEM, AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING VEHICLE-RELATED FUNCTIONALITY
A device, system, and method for controlling vehicle-related functionality is provided. A system comprises: a vehicle comprising: a vehicle display; a mobile device comprising: a mobile display, the vehicle and the mobile device communicatively coupled to each other; a transceiver; and a controller. The controller is configured to: determine, via the transceiver, whether the vehicle is a first vehicle or a subsequent vehicle to arrive at an incident scene. When the vehicle is the first vehicle to arrive at the incident scene, the controller selectively enables: a first application for presentation at the vehicle display; and a second application for presentation at the mobile display. When the vehicle is the subsequent vehicle to arrive at the incident scene, the controller selectively enables: a third application, different from the first application, for presentation at the vehicle display; and a fourth application for presentation at the mobile display.
