On November 25, responders were dispatched to what initially appeared to be a routine call involving an unconscious but breathing patient. While police and fire units were on the scene, a dispatcher demonstrated exceptional situational awareness. By reviewing available information in ForceMetrics Velocity™, she was able to identify a prior entry that indicated a potential risk of opioid exposure.
Within the first fifteen minutes of ever using ForceMetrics Velocity™, an officer encountered a situation that underscored its immediate impact.
A request was submitted to a Real Time Crime Center for assistance in collecting intelligence on a female subject (the mother) who had reportedly taken her children without a valid custody agreement. The request indicated that the subject had left with the children in either her father’s vehicle or with a male associate identified by name.
In her interview, she shares what sparked her interest in dispatch, choosing to follow in her parents' footsteps, and how she often leverages tools like ForceMetrics Velocity™, or "police Google," to help get a positive ID on a person.
During the investigation of an armed robbery, detectives learned that a white Chevrolet S-10 had been referenced in connection with the incident. A subsequent inquiry traced the potential suspect to a local motel. Surveillance footage from the property showed the perpetrator being dropped off by an individual driving a white Chevrolet S-10 equipped with all-black wheels. Because of the camera’s distance, the vehicle’s registration could not be seen, and investigators sought to identify the driver as a possible lead to the perpetrator.
The call came in from a local store reporting that a customer had used counterfeit money. When the responding officer arrived, store employees directed them to surveillance footage capturing the entire incident. After reviewing the video, the officer contacted the Real-Time Crime Center (RTCC) and requested assistance in identifying the vehicle involved in the fraudulent transaction.
