The role of assistive AI in a real-time crime center - Safety, Infrastructure & Geospatial

Real-time crime center (RTCC) is a term that is seen more and more in the public safety industry. RTCCs are essentially centralized technology hubs used by law enforcement agencies to track data in real time, identify patterns and to prevent and reduce crime. According to the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), the mission of an RTCC is "to provide a law enforcement agency with the ability to capitalize on a wide and expanding range of technologies for efficient and effective policing." Many major cities have established RTCCs in order to better protect their residents, officers and communities. RTCCs can house members of one or multiple agencies and receive large amounts of data from many sources across their jurisdictions, including video cameras, sensors, license plate readers (LPR), gunshot detection, drones, facial recognition, computer-aided dispatch (CAD) systems, records management systems (RMS), electronic monitoring, the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) and more.
