A computer-implemented method and apparatus allow for weighted voting in a public safety
distributed ledger. A first node operating in a
distributed ledger network receives an incident data
record of one or more other nodes to maintain a
distributed ledger. The first node reviews the incident data
record to determine a vote. The vote indicates whether the incident data
record should be entered into the distributed ledger. The vote is sent to a second node operating in the distributed ledger network. Votes are received from the one or more other nodes, and weights are determined for each node operating in the distributed ledger network node. A weighted vote result is calculated utilizing the votes and the weights. The distributed ledger is updated with the incident data record when the weighted vote result is greater than or equal to a predetermined threshold.
