Level 3 Audiovisual Helps Revolutionize Law Enforcement with Real-Time Crime Centers

Leading AV integration firm helps cities overcome fragmented technology and disparate data systems to create facilities that reduce crime and provide better emergency response.

With over half a million residents, a city recognized for its modernity and rapid growth has made substantial investments in technology to enhance citizen services. However, public safety officials pinpointed a critical issue: the existence of fragmented technology and disconnected data systems across various departments. To address this challenge, Level 3 Audiovisual was engaged to develop an advanced Real-Time Crime Center (RTCC). This center seamlessly integrates essential systems into one efficient facility, thereby enhancing operations and public safety.

Level 3 Audiovisual is a prominent AV systems integrator with a distinguished track record spanning nearly three decades. Having completed over 2,000 major projects in 22 countries for prestigious clients such as Chase Bank, Amex, Visa, eBay, New York University, and the Mayo Clinic, Level 3 Audiovisual is renowned for its diverse, cutting-edge solutions.

This extensive experience positions Level 3 Audiovisual as an ideal partner for designing and deploying Real-Time Crime Centers, heralded as the new standard for proactive policing and a significant advancement in law enforcement practices. A 2019 study by RAND Corp. found these centers can reduce crime on average by 5% to 15%, with certain crime types experiencing up to a 40% reduction.

Level 3 Audiovisual addresses fragmented technology by establishing a networked AV system with a centralized control system, ensuring seamless routing of any source to any display. Efficient data management is essential for RTCCs to integrate data streams from diverse sources and display them in one location. Outdated communication systems can undermine the core principle of RTCCs. Level 3 Audiovisual upgrades audiovisual systems and facilitates real-time communication, furnishing a platform for efficient information exchange among team members during emergencies.

Once the systems are in place, the RTCC needs to provide optimal situational awareness. For the city we've been discussing throughout this release, the implementation of an RTCC project has transformed how police and public safety personnel respond to crimes and emergencies. Collaborations with certified AV integrators like Level 3 Audiovisual showcase the transformative potential of technology in enhancing public safety.
