The Motorola Solutions Glasgow software development centre is leading development of mobile workflow solutions for the MSI Response & Reporting organization.

As a key part of this process we are developing Command Central Responder, a new solution, running on Android, iOS and Windows, that provides Record Management, Search and Command & Control capability integrating through the cloud-based Command Central Suite and to Motorola Solutions' On-Premise RMS & CAD systems.

This role is fully remote.

The CC Responder iOS team are developing an application, in use by multiple US law enforcement agencies, which supports:

• Searching - searching RMS, state & federal systems for people, vehicles etc
• Form capture - capturing & completing data on handheld devices for a range of processes including citation, field interview, incident record.
• Command & Control - viewing & updating CAD data from the handheld application
• Mapping - viewing search, form & other data on an interactive mobile map
• Evidence gathering - via notes, photo, video and audio files

The solution is configurable and downloads spec that defines the complete application behaviour allowing provision of solutions with distinct behaviour for different customers (e.g. different forms or searching different state systems).
