Mark43 Research to Action
Mark43 is the trusted leader in public safety technology, providing a secure, all-in-one platform for agencies to save time, stay compliant, and ensure community safety.
Combining operational data with research findings is difficult, but vital to better outcomes.
Agencies Have the Data
Day-to-day systems capture more activity and detail than ever before.
Researchers Know What Works
A rich body of research evidence offers answers, but rarely reaches the field in a timely or accessible manner.
The Gap is Context and Connection
Data and evidence become actionable once connected to real operational and strategic decisions.
Mark43 Research to Action is uniquely positioned to bridge this gap.
We have a deep understanding of agency context—including the systems and workflows that generate the data—and bring access to the research and experts who can help turn it into action.
Grounded in evidence. Shaped by real agency questions and priorities.
“Connecting insights from agency data and personnel with the best available research puts us in a much better position to build stronger agencies and safer communities.”
Anita Ravishankar
Principal, Research & Strategy, Mark43

“Public safety advances when strong ideas can move from insight to implementation. Mark43 Research to Action is about creating the connections, evidence, and support to make that happen—and ensuring that innovation happening within individual agencies can help advance the profession as a whole.”
