“We were impressed by what we saw in Detroit, because they’d used convenience stores as sources of video for their RTCC,” said Assistant Chief Brandt. “Circle K has a big presence in the Glendale areas and a very robust camera system. Plus, we had a good working relationship with them. From the start they were on board and were excited about the program.” Colby Brandt Assistant Chief of Police
SOLUTION
At the RTCC’s core is CommandCentral Aware, real-time intelligence software that combines aggregated video with CAD, LPR alerting, resource tracking, layered geospatial mapping, and other key inputs. APX™ two-way radios, which provide clear, instant, reliable communication with rugged design, integrate directly into the system. The solution also includes Vigilant LPR, which provides fast license plate scanning and powerful analytics that help find stolen vehicles. With CommandCentral, the GPD can also seamlessly integrate existing third-party systems into the RTCC. Finally, CommandCentral Analytics leverages data from CAD and RMS sources to identify crime trends. Its predictive analytics allow the GPD to proactively adjust efforts, both at the RTCC and in the field, so that resources are directed where and when they are most required. “Motorola Solutions has been at the forefront of public safety for decades, it’s ingrained in their culture,” said Kevin Phelps, Glendale City Manager. “They understand what public safety needs. And they’ve been able to work with other partners so that we can layer in with their technology to create a very robust system.” Glendale now has a state-of-the-art RTCC that has already transformed the efficiency and effectiveness of law enforcement efforts. Feedback from officers, investigators, other agencies, and Circle K has been so positive that the department is now working to expand the program to include additional businesses, including sports and entertainment providers.
“Our top priority is employee and customer safety and we’ve gotten only positive feedback from both groups, Whenever you can establish a strong relationship with the police, nothing but good can come out of it. Our employees feel safer when they realize that someone is watching out for them.”
Mark Slowinksi Loss Prevention Manager for Circle K.
