Motorola Solutions (NYSE: MSI) is enhancing law enforcement response by integrating 9-1-1 intelligence into real-time crime centers (RTCCs). This technology pushes real-time 9-1-1 call data, including transcripts, translations, AI-generated summaries, and community-shared media, directly to RTCCs. The Glendale Police Department in Arizona has successfully used this system to expedite response times and improve decision-making.

The technology, CommandCentral Aware, unifies various data feeds and uses AI to verify incident information. It provides RTCC staff with a comprehensive view of 9-1-1 call details, resource locations, and footage from multiple camera sources. Glendale PD is also exploring regionalizing its RTCC to enhance cross-jurisdictional crime intelligence sharing.

Motorola Solutions will showcase this technology at the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) Conference in Boston, October 19-22, where attendees can experience a simulated RTCC environment.
