The Austrian Ministry of the Interior and Commend International have officially entered a new public-safety cooperation, marked by the recent signing in the Ministry’s offices in Vienna. Police Director Michael Takacs, together with Commend representatives Christine Bernroider and Klaus Hirschegger, set the foundation for a partnership focused on earlier risk detection and clearer communication in security-critical situations.
The goal of the cooperation is to help emergency services gain a faster and more precise situational overview in public buildings, train stations, hospitals, and other high-traffic urban areas. By combining the Police’s operational experience with Commend’s long-standing expertise in secure communication, new solutions will be developed that improve safety for the public while supporting emergency teams in making quicker, more informed decisions.
The partnership also marks the start of joint innovation efforts: the first collaborative public projects are already moving into concrete planning, aiming to deliver technology and workflows tailored directly to real-world operational needs.
