The Detroit Police Department opened its real-time crime center in 2016 . The RTCC accesses more than 500 cameras from at least 229 businesses through a program called "Project Green Light", where businesses agreed to pay for and install security cameras that feed directly into the RTCC. The Detroit Police Department also runs the Neighborhood Real-Time Intelligence Program—a $9 million initiative that uses local and federal traffic modernization funds to put high-definition cameras at various intersections in the neighborhoods. The DPD's RTCC also employs face recognition technology from DataWorks Plus and automated license plate readers.
