Police departments across the United States are beginning to operate state-of-the-art crime fighting equipment that could lead to live-streaming surveillance from virtually everywhere.

Today, when police departments in Fresno, New York, and Seattle receive a high-priority call of an in-progress crime, that call is immediately filtered through a hi-tech computer system that will assign a threat score to the individual and home involved in the incident. This will contribute to local law enforcement's assessment on how to tackle top-priority scenarios.

The backbone of this operation is the Real Time Crime Center (RTCC) – a centralized technology center that "goes through all public information for the call's location — from arrest records to pizza deliveries — and gives the address a rating.
