Unlocking the Future of Real-Time Crime Centers: The 2025 NRTCCA Conference Lineup

Working in real-time isn’t as simple as pushing a button. Real-Time Crime Center (RTCC) professionals may have access to powerful tools, but they rarely have the time to sift through endless streams of data when every second matters. Flock Safety builds technology designed to reduce the effort of finding information, so RTCC professionals can focus on turning intelligence into action.

Flock Safety’s AI-powered tools unify 911 transcription, data collected by license plate readers, video, drones, and mobile access into one seamless workflow, enabling operators to relay critical intelligence to officers faster, equipping Drone as First Responder (DFR) pilots to deliver real-time visibility, and giving analysts the freedom to focus on accurate analysis rather than time-consuming searches.

The 2025 National Real-Time Crime Center Association (NRTCCA) Conference lineup reflects this mission, bringing together experts from across the country to share strategies, technologies, and insights that help RTCCs strengthen operations and amplify case closures.

Community Cameras: Getting It Right

In The Power of Partnership: Community Cameras, Dalton Webb and Moose Johnston will tackle one of the most persistent challenges RTCCs face: effectively connecting community cameras. While many centers launch intending to integrate private and public cameras, too few realize their full potential. This session will explore different program models, weigh the benefits and trade-offs, and walk through a practical implementation checklist. For RTCC leaders seeking to expand visibility and build community trust, this is a must-attend session.

Drones That Belong in the RTCC

Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs are quickly becoming a cornerstone of real-time response. In Why DFR Must be RTCC-Native, Rahul Sidhu and Jamie Hudson will demonstrate why DFR must be natively built into the RTCC ecosystem. They’ll reveal how proper RTCC-native integration creates faster responses, streamlined resource allocation, and unmatched situational awareness. Attendees will hear real-world stories of agencies successfully operationalizing DFR, leaving them with a clear picture of what next-level integration looks like.

The Role of Professional Staff

RTCCs aren’t powered by technology alone. In Arming Your RTCC With Professional Staff, moderator Caity Peak will lead a panel featuring Reina Diaz, Ashlee Adeli, and Brittany Carroll, who are all experienced former professional staff. This conversation will shed light on the unique value civilian experts bring to intelligence operations, critical incident response, and cross-agency collaboration. The panel will explore budget-friendly staffing strategies, the analytical depth civilian staff provide, and how these roles can strengthen ties with community partners.

Unlocking Data’s Potential

Despite advances in technology, many agencies struggle to harness their data fully. Democratizing Data for Modern Policing, led by Aidan Daily, introduces Flock Nova, a platform designed to centralize investigative data in one accessible interface. From CAD and RMS to video and license plate data, Nova puts critical insights at investigators’ fingertips. Attendees will see firsthand how data can transform workflows and enhance collaboration across jurisdictions.

The Power of Real-Time Policing

The 2025 NRTCCA Conference takes place from September 22–25, 2025, in Atlanta, Georgia. 

Real-time policing is built on efficacy and efficiency, whether it’s how a center is staffed or how technology is integrated. Flock Safety is helping RTCCs reclaim time by reducing manual work, accelerating information flow, and ensuring every second is spent making data actionable.

From AI-powered search to drone intelligence to unified case evidence, Flock’s platform is designed so RTCC professionals can do what they do best: deliver stronger outcomes for their communities.
