How different organizations are
using real-time crime centers
Typically, RTCCs are dedicated physical spaces containing large
displays which present information in real time. They use various
integrations, such as layered mapping, video feeds, Automated
License Plate Reader (ALPR) locations, and the current location
and status of police vehicles. Also, video feeds from surveillance
cameras, shot detection capabilities, predictive policing software
for identifying high-risk areas and individuals, and supplementary
detailed information like water level sensors, HOA or school
contact information and more.
Supporting day-to-day decision-making
Conducting daily briefings where crime, event, and operational
statistics are analyzed to identify patterns and hotspots. Action items
are created to help make decisions during the briefings.
Addressing requests for information
RTCC staff prepare analyses in response to formal requests,
assisting individuals with access, interpretation, and follow-up on the
information provided.
