What Happened

The day began with an alert from their LPR system: a hit on a vehicle confirmed stolen out of a neighboring town the night before. They quickly tracked the vehicle pulling directly into a gas station. Recognizing the potential threat, they turned to ForceMetrics to gather critical context.

The Velocity platform revealed that instead of a simple vehicle theft, the car’s keys, along with nearly $5,000 worth of property had been taken during a residential burglary, while the victims slept. That detail instantly raised the stakes, shifting their understanding from a routine stolen vehicle case to a potentially dangerous situation involving armed suspects and robbery.

The Real Time Crime Center immediately relayed the information to the responding officers, who quickly coordinated their approach. Meanwhile, RTCC personnel monitored the live feeds, while another analyst reviewed camera playback for further intelligence. With the likelihood of weapons, narcotics, and multiple offenders involved, officers took no chances. They converged on the location, boxed in the vehicle, and safely apprehended three suspects.

A subsequent search confirmed the gravity of the incident: two firearms and narcotics were recovered inside the stolen vehicle.

Impact

This successful operation demonstrated the power of real-time intelligence. Without ForceMetrics Velocity providing timely insight into the burglary connection, the officers on the ground would not have had such swift and critical information at their disposal. By delivering this intelligence rapidly, they ensured officer safety, protected the public, and took dangerous individuals off the street.
