Divisions
The Real Time Crime Center (RTCC) hosts several applications that leverage current technologies to combat crime, enhance the security of city assets and infrastructure, and protect the citizens of the Memphis area. Responsibility for the security of all physical assets has been placed under the Memphis Police Department (MPD) and standardized for monitoring through the RTCC. The center utilizes advanced software capable of providing instant information on recent criminal activity within a given radius, identifying existing crime patterns in neighborhoods, and tracking individuals with prior arrest records who may frequent those areas.
