A process of linking newly submitted unsolicited electronic tips to public-safety data including public-safety cases and tips. An electronic tip processing system correlates a newly received unsolicited electronic tip with public-safety cases. A correlation score is assigned to each public-safety case. The system selects a public-safety case which has a correlation score greater than or equal to a threshold. The system then presents a notification to a case supervisor assigned to the selected public-safety case. The notification indicates availability of new tip information to the case supervisor and also requests the case supervisor to review and validate whether the new tip information including the unsolicited electronic tip is relevant to the public-safety case. When a response received from the case supervisor indicates that the electronic tip is validated by the case supervisor as being relevant to the public-safety case, the system links the unsolicited electronic tip to the public-safety case.

METHOD AND SYSTEM TO PROVIDE MISSION CRITICAL TALKGROUP SERVICE WITH MINIMAL AUDIO TRUNCATION AND DELAY
A method and subscriber unit provide mission critical talkgroup service while minimizing truncation and delay when at least one member talkgroup radio is on a Broadband LTE (Long Term Evolution) system. A dual-mode subscriber unit preferably obtains LMR coverage map data to predict the entry point and remaining duration for when the subscriber unit will operate in the backup LTE system. The subscriber unit falls back to the LTE system when the subscriber unit is out of the coverage area of the LMR system. Because the subscriber unit set the connected state prior to using the LTE network and continuously optimizes RRC mode parameters, audio truncation and call delay are greatly reduced without draining the battery of the subscriber unit.
