A real-time crime center (RTCC) is a centralized technology utilized by law enforcement and emergency first responders.
During early adoption, the primary purpose of RTCC was to give field officers and detectives instant information to help identify patterns and stop emerging crime.
Technological advances in RTCC seeks to continually improve emergency response times in the form of instant-live video, live feed camera docking, virtual incident location mapping and full integration with computer-aided dispatch (CAD).
These include:[5][6][7] The crime center employs satellite imaging and mapping of New York City (using geographic information system software) precinct-by-precinct.
Real-time crime centers (RTCC) in the cloud are centralized technology platforms which extracts and unifies live video and data feeds from virtually any source, creating a central hub that enhances the situational awareness and investigative capabilities of law enforcement and public safety agencies.
