Cincinnati Police Department: Real-Time Crime Center

The Cincinnati Police Department began a video surveillance system as part of a partnership in 2008 with the Federal Signal Corporation, Genetec, Axis Communications, and Firetide. Today, this camera system feeds directly into the CPD's Real-Time Crime Center. The RTCC also has access to automated license plate reader technology and predictive policing software.

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.
