One example cloud-based electronic computing device includes and electronic processor and communicates over a wireless communication network with a User Equipment (UE) device. The electronic processor receives public safety incident information about a public safety incident from a public safety command center. The electronic processor receives metadata representing first gathered data from a location of the public safety incident from the UE device. The electronic processor may determine, based on the public safety incident information and the metadata, whether to process the first gathered data by a first UE device at the location of the public safety incident or by the electronic processor of the cloud-based electronic computing device.
