GSN 2015 DIGITAL YEARBOOK OF HOMELAND SECURITY AWARDS RECIPIENTS Most Notable Law Enforcement Interdiction, Arrest, Counter Terrorism or Crime Prevention Program – Federal/State or Local Memphis Police Department 2015 Winner Awards Category: –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Most Notable Law Enforcement Interdiction, Arrest, Counter Terrorism or Crime Prevention Program Name of Nominated Product, Service, or Program: –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Memphis Police Department Reason this entry deserves to win: –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Memphis, a city with a rich history of creative and trailblazing American icons, has captured the city’s creative spirit in crime prevention as well. The Memphis Police Department is using a combination of traditional and unconventional video surveillance to protect the city’s citizens and critical infrastructure. MPD has established a network of about 600 surveillance cameras throughout the city. Many of these cameras have smart features such as line crossing and intrusion detection to make surveillance more effective. These features can send alerts to the police when someone enters or leaves a designated area. Live footage flows back to the MPD Real Time Crime Center (RTCC). The RTCC is a sophisticated way for the city to fight crime. It features a large video wall that can pull up live streams from surveillance cameras throughout the city, as well as unique software that provides instant information on recent criminal activity in a radius around a crime, existing crime patterns in the surrounding area, and a history of people with arrest records who may frequent the neighborhood. MPD has also invested in mobile trailers that are each equipped with two cameras. These trailers, powered by generators or solar energy, monitor parking lots, malls, and special events. Officers in the RTCC can monitor events live and respond as needed. Another fascinating element of this crime prevention program is a gunshot detection feature that works in tandem with the PTZ (pan, tilt, zoom) cameras. A circuit board is programmed to listen for gunshots and essentially filters out all other noise. Microphones atop the enclo- 122
sure pick up any possible gunshot sounds, and if those sounds are heard, the detector triangulates the location of the shot. It then guides the camera to pan, tilt, and zoom in the direction of the gunshot within seconds. Many cameras are placed on utility poles in unique, patented enclosures that house the cameras and all of their related equipment: a DVR or NVR, an encoder, a power supply, and a router. A flashing blue light — a nod to a police car’s light bar on the roof — is placed on the enclosure as a finishing touch. These units are peppered throughout the city, from Beale Street to the ports and many areas in between. To further protect police force and sensitive operations, a local wifi system is employed that enables officers to pull up to an enclosure, connect to the network, and discreetly pull data without even exiting the car. Not only is the department receiving a lot of positive feedback on its crime prevention efforts, but the cameras have become an instrumental tool in catching criminals — MPD has several cases prosecuted each week thanks to incidents being captured on video. Plus, the police are able to dispatch calls from the RTCC and view live video before the officer even arrives on the scene. From gunshot detection to the video evidence used in prosecutions, it’s clear that MPD’s crime prevention program has made a measurable impact on public safety.
