The Franklin County Sheriff's Office announced its proposal for a Real-Time Crime Center in 2019. According to news reports, the City of Columbus passed a bond package that included funding for the RTCC, which authorized the implementation of a video center staffed by a team of officers, detectives, crime analysts and an intelligent unit. The RTCC would access automated license plate readers, media and Live Earth—a digital platform that pulls real-time data into a live 3D map of the county.

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.
