From faster workups to streamlined investigations, Winston-Salem’s Real Time Crime Center is unlocking speed, accuracy, and insight with ForceMetrics. Sergeant Bradley Richardson and Senior Crime Analyst, Travis Swain share how Velocity's ease of use makes every second count—and inspires Sergeant Richardson's 5 S's of ForceMetrics.
The RTCC team wasted no time. Using ForceMetrics Velocity™ and a combination of investigative resources, they began a “workup:” a detailed intelligence package on the suspect. They combed through data points, cross-referenced databases, and pieced together a digital trail from fragments.
Officers in North Carolina received a disturbing 911 call reporting an attempted sexual assault in progress.
Greensboro PD had access to large volumes of data, but it was trapped in outdated, fragmented systems. Their Records Management System (RMS) was not designed for fast search or operational use.
ForceMetrics Velocity™ didn’t just streamline the investigation, it empowered the officer to make an informed, timely decision that protected the community and reinforced the value of using modern data tools in everyday law enforcement.
We sat down with Williams, a Mental Health Clinician at Brookhaven PD, to talk about her role responding side-by-side with officers on mental health calls, and how she continues that support within the department walls.
Thanks to swift coordination, experienced officers, and the real-time intelligence offered by our Velocity™ platform, a vulnerable person was located quickly and returned safely. In this case, 13 minutes made all the difference, and showcased how the right tools can help protect the most vulnerable in our community.
The Abilene Police Department has been using the ForceMetrics Velocity™ platform since 2021. As one of the early adopters, they helped shape the platform during its development.
Lieutenant RB Todd has spent over two decades in law enforcement, serving in roles spanning patrol, records, recruitment, and real-time crime operations.
