    Munission Permit
    Best of breed tools crafted to modernize government agencies. Munission represents union, collaboration, combination, and purpose. Today’s modern municipalities, public safety & social service agencies have complex needs and problems that they need to solve. Citizens have increasingly high expectations for service and self-service along with growing demands for transparency and access. Public safety officers are tasked with operating in a pandemic, managing protests, crowd control, and diffusing intense situations. And when those situations escalate to violence, fire, or threaten the life of a child or citizen, immediate cross-departmental coordination is critical. Social service agencies are becoming more modern in their use of technology to manage individual cases and match programs and services to those in need. These agencies and organizations are leveraging new federal funding or grants to drive their acquisitions of platforms like Munission SSP to accelerate their programs.
