School Resource Officers play one of the most complex and important roles in public safety. On any given day, they may be called on to resolve conflicts, mentor students, respond to emergencies and act as a trusted bridge between law enforcement and the school community. But doing this effectively requires more than training and presence; it requires context that most SROs simply don’t have access to.
Public safety is shaped by more than what appears in a crime report. Every day, officers engage with people and places in ways that provide critical context, long before an incident becomes a statistic. These interactions often hold the key to understanding emerging challenges, community needs and operational priorities.
ForceMetrics Velocity™ surfaced the historical CAD connection tied to the plate, prompting officers to dig deeper. That single reference led to identifying a local subject and reframing the case. The platform helped turn an out-of-state plate into a targeted investigative lead, accelerating focus and decision-making at a critical moment.
In a recent interview with Englewood PD Dispatcher Jenna Clancy, she shared how tools like ForceMetrics Velocity™ have enhanced her ability to support officers and improve situational awareness in real time.
Our CEO, Andre McGregor, was on WVON 1690 Talk of the Town - Chicago this afternoon sharing his FBI experience and insights on the Nancy Guthrie case. He emphasized the power of data and information in uncovering leads and driving hope, and shared how ForceMetrics is helping close critical data gaps, because in moments like this, every second counts.
In this compelling interview hosted by Carahsoft featuring Jacob Cramer, PhD, our Director of Data Innovation, he discusses how law enforcement agencies are overcoming data silos and transforming massive amounts of information into proactive insights that support better decision-making and community outcomes.

In public safety, time matters. Not only on the street, but also in the systems agencies rely on every day. Too many technology platforms promise transformation and deliver long implementation timelines, costly services, and months of “we’re almost live.”
