New Orleans Real Time Crime Center Aids Law Enforcement With 24/7 Monitoring
Residents and tourists are feeling more secure in New Orleans thanks to Christie Technology and Interstate Electronics Systems (IES). The Real Time Crime Center (RTCC) comes complete with over 80 cameras in the French Quarter alone and another 125 located at various crime ‘hot spots,’ capturing video and acting as a deterrent for illegal activity.
With an additional 125 cameras set to be installed around the ‘Big Easy,’ the RTCC is part of a $40 million public safety program that will also allow residents, property owners and business owners to register their private cameras with the city and permit police to quickly locate camera footage after a crime occurs. In some cases, the private cameras will link to the Real Time Crime Center, allowing the footage from the cameras to be immediately available to law enforcement.
