Columbus, GA police unit uses video cams to help officers in real time, and solve crimes

When Columbus citizens call for help, a little known unit springs into action to help.
This eight-person team that comprises CPD’s Real Time Crime Center (RTCC) monitors the computer-aided dispatch system, which is how 911 calls are handled by first responders.
The RTCC staff’s primary responsibility is to monitor the computer aided dispatch system, which is how 911 calls are handled by emergency responders. Lt. Andy Farmer, who oversees the unit, said the system’s camera access makes potentially life-threatening situations much safer.
“We are able to look in on those cameras and sometimes detect what’s going on before the police actually arrive,” he said. “We can communicate with the officers responding and give them a preview of what they’re coming up on.”

I love that you’re engaging citizens to help. Under previous administration your detectives and investigators were so egotistical and didn’t want any help from us. This is amazing!
