In Colorado, officers responded to an apartment complex after reports that an individual had either jumped or fallen from a fifth-floor balcony. Upon arrival, they were faced with limited information and difficulty identifying both the victim and the exact apartment involved. The only detail that was initially available was the victim’s first name, leaving responding units with little to work from during a rapidly evolving and potentially life-threatening situation.

Turning to the ForceMetrics Velocity platform, dispatch quickly conducted a search based on the limited identifying information they had, and within minutes, they located the associated apartment number and relayed that information directly to officers on scene. Armed with this critical lead, officers were able to quickly focus their response, locate the involved parties, and continue the investigation without delay.
