A method of controlling streetlights by a centralized streetlight management system is described. The method includes receiving, from a user device, information corresponding to a request for assistance and determining, based on the information, a location of the user device. The method also includes sending, from the centralized streetlight management system, information corresponding to the location of the user device to one or more computing devices associated with an assistance-providing authority, and receiving, from the one or more computing devices associated with the assistance-providing authority, information indicating dispatch of assistance to the location of the user device. The method also includes, responsive to receiving the information indicating dispatch of assistance to the location of the user device, transmitting, from the centralized streetlight management system, one or more control signals to at least one streetlight at the location of the user device.
