Atlanta Police Department's real-time crime center was first announced in September 2011 and now has access to approximately 11,000 cameras. The RTCC, renamed the Loudermilk Video Integration Center, also provides access to automated license plate readers, PredPol (now Geolitica) predictive policing software, geolocation of 911 calls, and crime analytics software from Edge360.

More about this technology

Real-Time Crime Centers are hubs where police ingest and analyze surveillance, intelligence, and data from a number of sources in real-time. RTCCs are often equipped with walls of monitors with live feeds from camera networks. Analysts are often able to access a wide variety of surveillance technologies, including automated license plate readers, gunshot detection, predictive policing, and face recognition. Unlike fusion centers, RTCCs tend to be focused on local level activities and a broader range of criminal investigations.
