Day in the Life: Mike Weaver

Zetron is honored to work with mission critical communications professionals across a wide array of applications and industries. Our daily interactions with these extraordinary individuals inspired us to launch our Day in the Life blog series. The series gives us a chance to talk with some amazing people and share Q&As, stories, anecdotes and whatever else they’re willing to share to give us and our blog subscribers an inside look at the many roles and facets of critical communications. Our objective is simply to share different perspectives, proliferate learning, inspire collaboration and to celebrate exceptional, often unsung, people, teams and organizations who are making a big difference in their day-to-day.

For this edition of Day in the Life, we had the opportunity to talk with Mike Weaver who is the director for Lancaster County-Wide Communications. Mike talks to us about his role, how his team operates and how important their work is.

Your Control Room Doesn’t Need Replacing. It Needs Preparing.

For years, conversations about control room technology have centred on replacement.

Replacing legacy systems. Replacing networks. Replacing infrastructure.

Today, that conversation is changing.

The control room has evolved more in the last five years than it did in the previous twenty. Emergency services are responding to increasing demand, more complex incidents and greater public expectation, while preparing for one of the biggest technology transitions in a generation through the Emergency Services Network (ESN).

Managing Risk, Vulnerability and Demand: The Growing Importance of THRIVE

Every call into a police control room matters. But not every call carries the same level of threat, harm or risk. As police forces continue to face growing demand, increasingly complex incidents and ongoing resource pressures, the ability to quickly assess and prioritise calls has never been more important. That’s why THRIVE has become such a fundamental part of modern policing.

THRIVE, which stands for Threat, Harm, Risk, Investigation, Vulnerability and Engagement, provides a structured framework that helps call handlers and dispatchers assess incidents consistently and make informed decisions about the most appropriate response.

Your Zetron. Your Way.

The pressure to modernize emergency communications is real and growing. Next Generation 9-1-1 (NG9-1-1) migration, Text-to-9-1-1, GIS-based location services, integrated workflows and automation across call taking, computer aided dispatch (CAD) and dispatch, are no longer aspirational — they are operational expectations.

At the same time, agencies face staffing shortages, budget constraints, evolving funding opportunities and growing demands on telecommunicators and dispatch teams, all of which can impact modernization efforts.

Your Zetron, Your Way is about giving our customer choice and partnering in a way that builds a path forward that respects their infrastructure, budget cycles and operational realities.

Police.AI: turning national ambition into operational reality

Police.AI represents one of the most significant shifts in policing in a generation.

Backed by more than £115 million in funding and positioned at the centre of the Government’s Police Reform White Paper, it signals a clear move away from fragmented innovation towards a nationally coordinated, technology enabled policing model.
