Next-Gen Event Safety: Pairing RTCCs and Emergency Management

This dynamic session features former Real-Time Crime Center subject matter experts who specialized in leveraging real-time capabilities for emergency management and special event operations. Through compelling after-action reviews of critical incidents and major events, these experts will provide invaluable insights into how RTCCs functioned (or could have functioned) to enhance situational awareness, facilitate interagency coordination, and support effective decision-making under pressure. This session will explore how the lessons learned from managing complex, time-sensitive events can be applied to inform the design and operation of a new generation of RTCCs. Presenters will share their recommendations for incorporating special events planning, proactive policing strategies, and robust cross-agency collaboration as foundational elements for building RTCCs that extend their reach beyond conventional crime-fighting. This includes strategies for:
- Proactive Information Sharing: Establishing protocols and systems for seamless data exchange between law enforcement, fire services, EMS, transportation agencies, sporting event coordinators, and other relevant stakeholders.
- Resource Optimization: Developing RTCC workflows that support the efficient allocation and deployment of resources across multiple agencies during both planned events and unforeseen emergencies.
- Enhanced Situational Awareness: Utilizing technology and analytical techniques to provide a comprehensive, real-time understanding of evolving situations, enabling proactive intervention and mitigation efforts.
- Community Resilience: Building RTCC capabilities that contribute to broader community resilience by supporting disaster preparedness, response, and recovery efforts.
This session will help attendees enhance their real-time strategy to operate at the intersection of real-time intelligence, emergency management, and large-scale event coordination. Attendees will leave with a fresh perspective on the transformative potential of RTCCs and a framework for developing centers that are more adaptable, collaborative, and capable of addressing the complex challenges of modern public safety.
