Battle Buddy: Austin Public Safety Intelligence

An introduction to Battle Buddy, the Libertas Mobile Austin public safety intelligence platform for monitoring police, fire, EMS, and airport radio traffic.

Austin’s Public Safety Intelligence Platform

Real-time monitoring of Austin Police, Fire, EMS, and Airport radio traffic. AI-transcribed, incident-classified, and delivered to your inbox or news desk before the scanner crowd catches up.

What It Is

Battle Buddy listens to Austin’s P25 trunked radio system 24/7. Every call is transcribed by AI, classified by severity, and tracked as an incident. When something serious happens — a shooting, structure fire, major crash — subscribers get notified in real time with a written summary of what radio traffic shows.
