As law enforcement technology continues to evolve, the integration of this technology into agency and officer workflows is critical. Real-Time Crime Centers (RTCCs) provide agencies with a common operating picture and improve real-time situational awareness.RTCCs are facilities within existing law enforcement agencies where feeds from video cameras and other data sources are analyzed in real-time to provide officers with actionable insights to help prevent or respond to crime in the field.This e...

A real-time crime center (RTCC) is a powerful public safety platform. This network of technologies and data feeds has gained significant ground since 2005, when the New York Police Department built the first one in the United States. Outfitted with satellite imaging and mapping, a wall of screens and operators on constant standby, that system helped law enforcement solve crimes more quickly, respond to urgent situations with greater preparedness, and keep both civilians and officers safe. Since...

In critical incidents, officers don’t have time to second-guess their decisions. Whether responding to an armed suspect, a high-risk traffic stop, or a rapidly escalating crisis, officers must assess threats, communicate effectively, and act—often in seconds. Traditional training lays a strong foundation, but it may not fully reflect the complexity and unpredictability officers face in the field. That’s why many departments are turning to complementary training approaches.We are excited to annou...

New technology gets created every day, and it can be overwhelming for law enforcement agencies who are looking to manage budgets, keep communities safe, solve real problems and identify the right kind of technology to support their efforts. One of the biggest focus areas? Figuring out how to have the right information available at the right time with the right people on the scene, all while having a firm handle on overall public safety. Traditional operating procedures like asking questions on t...

While artificial intelligence may seem like a new frontier, the reality is many individuals and agencies have been using AI solutions for years without even realizing it. With newer applications such as voice assistants and autonomous vehicles, or less apparent and seemingly mundane use cases such as email spam filters, fraud detection and language translation, AI is likely already assisting your agency. Artificial intelligence improves public safety’s ability to process data, recognize patterns...

As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly embedded in daily life—from email filters to voice assistants—it is also transforming the field of public safety. At Axon, we believe AI can be a powerful force multiplier for law enforcement, helping agencies reduce paperwork, increase efficiency, improve incident response, and ultimately serve their communities more effectively. Our AI-driven solutions, such as Draft One, Auto-Transcribe and Real-Time Translation, are designed to streamline criti...
