Real-time policing is no longer defined by a room filled with screens. It is an operational philosophy that connects intelligence, technology and frontline response at the moment decisions are made.
Across the country, agencies are investing in real time crime centers, Drone as First Responder programs and integrated data platforms to improve situational awareness, accelerate investigations and support officers in the field. But technology alone does not create real-time policing. The real challenge is integrating these tools into daily operations.
In this 60-minute moderated discussion, leaders from the San Francisco Police Department and the Fairfax County Police Department in Northern Virginia will share how their agencies built and operationalized real-time policing capabilities.
The conversation will explore how technology, leadership and operational strategy come together to support patrol officers, investigators and command staff. The panelists will discuss how their agencies define the mission for real-time policing, integrated real-time crime center and drone capabilities into patrol operations, and developed the governance, staffing and oversight structures needed to sustain these programs.
Designed for chiefs and command staff evaluating or expanding real-time initiatives, this discussion provides practical insight into how agencies move from technology adoption to operational impact.
