5 Ways Ekin Maestro Simplifies Real-time Policing

Law enforcement teams, like most public services, are under constant pressure to do more with less. However, more patrols on the streets require more resources and investment. This also relies on officers being in the right place at the right time to stop criminals.

For a more efficient approach, police agencies are turning toward a mix of real-time intelligence, AI policing platforms, and contextual data. In the UK, this technology-focused approach to public safety solutions would reportedly free up to 15 million hours of police time. In the US, adopting advanced technologies including ALPR led to a 20% drop in overall crime, according to the San Francisco, California, Police Department.

The good news is that data is flowing in to support a more targeted approach to public safety technology. However, command centers need a public safety solution capable of centralizing incoming information and extracting insights. Without that, operators face multiple challenges to real-time policing:

• Data overload. As the world grows more connected, public safety teams are dealing with rising volumes of data. These arrive from a growing range of sources, including neighborhood sensors, live recordings, and online incident reports. Naturally, it becomes harder to funnel information to where it's needed.
• Slow response. The nature of public safety, often involving raids, chases, and life-or-death situations, calls for instant responses from public safety solutions and public safety technology. Without reliable data and an AI policing platform, it's unclear which areas to focus attention on. For example, identifying crime hotspots based on gang activity, or knowing the difference in anti-social behavior at weekends compared to midweek.
• Fragmented tools. To speed up responses, many agencies may take on tools that don't work well together. The lack of interoperability can cause data silos and a misaligned, inaccurate, and inconsistent overview. Processing vast volumes of data can also impact legacy systems struggling to manage AI, cloud systems, and state-of-the-art mobile devices.

The answer is command center software that's visible and actionable from one screen. And that's where Ekin's Maestro OS comes in.

Real-time intelligence: The journey from reactive to proactive

Ekin Maestro offers command center software for centralizing public safety activity. The AI policing platform provides multiple features and tools designed to improve real-time responses and build greater insight for long-term planning and real-time policing. Below are some of the key reasons why police decision-makers choose Ekin's public safety technology.

Unified command dashboard

Ekin Maestro offers:

• Centralized AI-powered dashboard, to view, analyze, and enable real-time policing
• Multiple hubs that can manage multiple devices, so teams can scale public safety solutions while maintaining visibility
• Live data returned from Ekin products, ranging from license plates and traffic violations to facial recognition and potential criminal activity

Instant alerts & smart notifications

Information flows in real-time within Ekin's public safety technology, so that:

• Patrols are always aware of what's happening in the community
• Call centers can triage and prioritize reports and assign officers without delay
• Intelligent alarms use data to reduce false positives and wasted time, improving the experience for end users and operators

Predictive & AI-driven analysis

As public safety teams access more data through Ekin's command center software, it becomes easier to:

• Make informed decisions on deploying resources
• Identify crime hotspots
• Predict crime patterns and assign patrol routes within affected communities

Simplified case & evidence management

Data is gathered and stored securely within Ekin Maestro's public safety technology, where:

• Insights can be surfaced for real-time policing
• Law enforcement gain a historical record for compliance purposes
• Information can be extracted from integrated repositories with the granularity needed for high-level analysis

Seamless integration across systems

The AI policing platform integrates with existing systems, with minimal disruption to day-to-day activities, while data is:

• Transferred over standard networks and protocols, for fast deployment and straightforward maintenance
• Encrypted with 256-bit security in transit and at rest, for end-to-end protection and privacy
• Protected by 1024-bit asymmetric encryption of evidence records

Command center software for public safety

With Maestro OS, public safety can manage communities by deploying resources where they're needed, with greater accuracy. The command center software supports leaders with strategic planning for when and where patrols should be directed.

Data is available in one central location, powered by an AI policing platform and public safety technology. Ekin Maestro also allows video surveillance, providing a real-time policing overview and a verifiable record for evidence.
