In this episode of Everyday Tech, Andre McGregor, CEO of ForceMetrics and former FBI cyber agent, discusses how securely using personal and behavioral data can enhance public safety. He explains how ForceMetrics’ platform, Velocity™, aggregates fragmented data from various public safety systems to give first responders real-time, actionable context (such as, mental health indicators or prior incidents) within seconds—and how our newest product feature, FMStat™, is revolutionizing the way traditional CompStat is viewed, putting action and decision behind the numbers. This helps officers make safer, more informed decisions and builds trust with communities. Designed by former practitioners, the platform emphasizes speed, simplicity, and usability in the field, with future innovations like voice-activated AI to further streamline access to critical information.

In a candid conversation, Investigations Supervisor Mike Moschetto shares how ForceMetrics Velocity™ has become a critical part of daily operations for his department. From patrol to investigations, the platform delivers real-time insights that save time, improve decision-making, and ultimately help officers work smarter.

Every year, law enforcement sees a predictable—and often steep—summer uptick in crime. Understanding the “why” behind it is essential. But transforming that insight into action? That’s leadership. And that's where smart tools make the difference.
