Current Situation
Responding and investigating crime is an manual, HR-intensive, nonautomated process that inefficiently connects various departments, resources, and/or jurisdictions. A variety of “real-time centers” – real-time intelligence centers (RTICs), real-time operations centers (RTOCs), and real-time crime centers (RTCCs) – have emerged to manage timely information integration. Real-time centers are demonstrating quicker response times and better case resolution and outcomes.
Goals and Objectives
Increase situational awareness, decrease time to respond to an event, fight crime across jurisdictions, speed information transfer between agencies, identify patterns more quickly, identify and track suspects more quickly, automate criminal investigations, and use better evidence.
Technology Deployed
Video analytics solutions, mobile-enabled situational awareness tools, visualization and GIS tools, video walls, advanced analytics, recognition software (facial, license plate, palm, gait), cognitive, database, cloud, and IoT solutions
Use Case Summary
Leveraging a suite of advanced analytically driven, real-time visualization, and investigation tools, RTOCs seek to automate the investigation and response processes, as well as lessening the amount of time for information transfer to occur.
