Description: In this week’s episode, Brian Novotny shares with us his passion for law enforcement by sharing stories from his diverse background. He began his career in fraud investigations, and then went on to work in gang investigations and as a paralegal before becoming a crime analysis supervisor. He talks about ethical questions and dilemmas that he has faced during his career, and how he was able to overcome them. Brian’s goals are to bridge the gap between sworn and non-sworn employees and between small agencies and large agencies. The question he is currently working on: How can larger agencies provide support to agencies with fewer resources? Brian Novotny is currently Crime Analysis and Research Unit Supervisor at the Maricopa County District Attorney’s office in Phoenix, AZ. He is also the director of the South West Chapter of IALEIA.

What is a Real-time Crime Center?

According to the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), the mission of a Real Time Crime Center (RTCC) is to provide a law enforcement agency with the ability to capitalize on a wide and expanding range of technologies for efficient and effective policing. Such efforts may allow law enforcement officers to respond quickly, or even immediately, to crimes in progress or to those that recently occurred. https://bja.ojp.gov/

Tempe unveils city’s new Real-Time Operations Center

A new tool for first responders in Tempe will allow the city to improve how emergency services respond to people who need help when moments matter. The Real-Time Operations Center uses about 1,000 cameras across the city to help officers find evidence of a crime and to respond to calls more safely. The cameras have been installed along roadways, parks and city buildings. ″This is a game changer,” said Greg Ruiz, Deputy City Manager over Community Health and Public Safety. A room inside of police headquarters is full of monitors, with busy areas of the city on full display. There, the small but mighty team is ready for an emergency. “We are shaving time off and as the city becomes more congested, more calls for service, etc., we know time matters,” Ruiz said. “Time is what really makes the difference; time to get to the people that need to be rescued, time to provide medical care and sadly, time to neutralize the threat.” Using cameras that have been in place since 2008, operators will be able to support first responders in the field with an eagle-eye view of the area where an emergency may be taking place. “Only when we receive a 911 call do those cameras then become available to the operators,” said IT Director Jared Morris.
