Description of original award (Fiscal Year 2024, $898,000)
The City of Santa Rosa Police Department (SRPD) proposes to establish a cutting-edge Real-Time Crime Center aimed at revolutionizing public safety and law enforcement effectiveness within the community. The primary focus of this initiative is the implementation of advanced technological systems, including ALPRs, stationary cameras, and software for a real-time decision and operations management platform, to facilitate rapid response to incidents of violence and enhance data-driven decision-making.
Central to the Real-Time Crime Center's functionality is its ability to seamlessly integrate with various data sources, including ALPR data and footage from stationary cameras. This integrated approach enables the aggregation of critical information for proactive crime prevention and rapid incident response. Additionally, the implementation of software for a real-time decision and operations management platform empowers law enforcement personnel with actionable insights to address emerging criminal activities swiftly and effectively.
The expected outcomes of the project encompass a multifaceted approach to enhancing public safety, including a reduction in violent crime rates, improved emergency response times, and increased collaboration among law enforcement agencies and community stakeholders. By harnessing the power of data analytics and real-time intelligence gathered from ALPRs, stationary cameras, and the real-time decision and operations management platform, the Real-Time Crime Center seeks to optimize resource allocation and enhance operational efficiency.
