Project Overview

The regional approach will develop a Capital Region Real-Time Crime Center (CRRTCC), which is a county-wide, multi-agency RTCC. The CRTCC will purchase and deploy automated license plate readers and closed-circuit television cameras. The CRTCC will support the integration and standardization of these various databases and information sources into a single accessible interface that will serve as the foundation of the CRRTCC intelligence infrastructure. The SPI hopes to increase trust and rapport between the partnering agencies and the communities they serve by enhancing transparency and the positive flow of information. Lastly, the SPI will evaluate the effectiveness of the CRRTCC at achieving the stated goals and the ability to demonstrate the value of enhanced information sharing and crime analysis.
