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.
