March Media Partner Spotlight - RapidSOS

March has already been an exciting month and it has only just begun. Within the Trenches Media (WTM) is back from the 2022 CalNENA conference where we were in the Industry Partner hall recording episodes for the Within the Trenches podcast, meeting public safety’s finest, reuniting with old friends, making new ones, and presented a few amazing sessions.

A highlight of the conference was the first Media Partner Sponsor Spotlight with our new partner, RapidSOS. WTM has worked with this company in the past and it has been a great experience. When we started talking about them becoming a partner, it was a no-brainer. This partnership will bring fresh content in the form of guest blogs and a LIVE broadcast that highlights them through story driven sessions.

In this episode I sit down with Karin Marquez, Chief Public Safety Brand Officer with RapidSOS, Michael Hirsch, Senior Product Manager, Sirius XM Connected Vehicles, and Carla Even, Police Communications Manager, Chula Vista PD out of California. We talk about the partnership between RapidSOS and Sirius XM Connected Vehicles, and share some saves with Carla. Check out the episode below, please share this, and check out more about both companies and the amazing work they do for public safety.

About Sirius XM Connected Vehicles -
From the very beginning, SiriusXM has been charting the course of connectivity. Just as Sirius XM Radio pioneered satellite audio entertainment, Sirius XM Connected Vehicle Services traces its roots back to the origin of vehicle telematics, launching one of the first programs in 1996. Since then, we’ve developed, launched and managed connected vehicle programs across multiple automotive brands, spanning both luxury and mass market model lines, across national borders, and across multiple model years.
