The latest police station in Scottsdale has influenced a number of recent high-profile calls, but this is only half of the new technology-based technology-based technology.
The new drone, which entered a commission on September 18, 2024, can fly up to 55 miles per hour and can reach calls within its two -mile work radius in seconds.
It has already been used for calls as an armed road between police and a man from Scottsdale, who refuses to leave his apartment on December 14, 2024.
The drone, which is equipped with a camera capable of enlarging an image from 40 times, was able to see that the man inside had really had a gun.
The drone itself is located at the top of the Center for Executive Arts in Scotsdale in the Old Town, but it is summer of pilots for miles at the Center for Real Time Center near the intersection of E. through Linda and 91 street.
Although the drone may be the most crying part of the center’s work, this is only half of what it does.
The Center opened open in February 2021. It monitors thousands of fixed cameras and readers of the registration plates around the city to get extra eyes at the place of calls to help patrol staff with their duties.
“The purpose of (real -time crime center) is to be another tool to help patrol staff identify what happens before arriving (until call), as this helps identify what resources are needed, To keep the community safe a SGT speaker. Alison Sepsis said in an email to Daily Independent.
But the center can do more than that, Scottsdale said in real time, the supervisory center of Chris Henningsen. With the emergence of the word, the presence of cameras can serve as a deterrent for crime, he said.
And there are other ways in which the center helps.
In an incident, the center operator witnessed the fact that an employee was confronted with someone and could not call for a backup so that the center operator managed to make this call.
It can also serve to warn residents of danger in an area.
“Do we have a name? Is there a phone number? Do we have to call someone to inform them that they have to leave their apartment because there is a fire on an apartment in this place? “Henningsen said.
The concept is not new. There are about 10 police departments with real -time crime centers throughout the valley.
“In the next year, we will probably see an increase in the number of centers that have opened throughout the valley,” Henningsen said.
He also said that the center was very successful.
“During the first 10 months of registration plates, we were able to recover over $ 1 million from stolen vehicles,” Henningsen said. “This is a partnership between our real -time crime center and our detectives in investigations with a patrol: we have restored over 50 vehicles, we have made over 60 crimes arrests, five firearms … We also managed to find three missing souls and identify two Souls were victims of human trafficking and pulled them out of this way of life. “
The center operates seven days a week, including with modified hours every day.
Many of the cameras you see in the intersections are part of the network of the Center for Real Time Center, but the center also relies on cameras that are not owned by the city.
“(Real -time crimes Center) has many community partnerships throughout the city to include schools, churches, retail shops, small to medium and other businesses,” Seppsis said.
And the center is always looking for more partners.
“If your subscribers are interested in becoming a partner with Scottsdale (the Center for Real Time Crime) to share (their) video in real time to keep (their) clients and the community, we welcome the opportunity to meet with them to share, to share, to share, to share, to share, to share, to share, to share, to share more about the partnership of our Community Partnership Program S “
However, the program does not use cameras for private residents, such as ringing ringing rings.
