The future of policing is the real-time operations centre—join us for a conference dedicated to the intelligence tools that empower front-line officers.
Police are operating under increased public demand for swifter response times amid greater transparency. Meanwhile, criminals continue to exploit rapidly evolving technology, carving new criminal pathways and pressures on police investigations. Discover how to use technology for proactive community-based policing while maximizing resources.
The need for a real-time crime centre, information centre or operations centre in every major police department, is a crucial next step in transitioning from reactive to pro-active policing.
Whether your centre is fully operational, or your department is in the early stages, we invite you to join this content-driven event as we examine best practices in budgeting, purchasing and integrating the latest tech to better operational efficiency and achieve your mandate.

Happening in “Real Time”: Validating Information in Real Time for Frontline Officers

“Very on point and relevant – we are currently in the process of setting up a CSOC – excellent real word examples and insights as to how to do it.”
“Exceptionally relevant presentations and vendors for real-time crime centre innovation and discussion. Well-run, on time, and great venue. An excellent use of two days, with networking opportunities and learning from others & best practices.”
“I liked learning about some of the technology that other police services were using, including staffing models and what their operation centres are responsible for. Calgary was interesting to hear about. I would imagine this information would become more interesting in the coming years as services improve their operation centres and bring on more roles and responsibilities for them.”
