rtcc cENTER OF THE MONTH
We’re thrilled to spotlight the Spokane County Sheriff’s Office Real‑Time Crime Center
(RTCC) officially recognized by the NRTCCA as Real-Time Crime Center of the Month!
Their first bi-annual report (July 1–Dec 31, 2024) is a masterclass in operational
excellence. It highlights how the RTCC: Consolidated diverse data streams (live camera
feeds, license plate readers, drone/aircraft footage, body cams, social media, 911 & CAD
integration) into a single intelligence hub. Supported field operations by equipping
deputies with real-time info—yielding faster and safer responses to incidents.
Demonstrated measurable impact: over 89 arrests, 54 stolen vehicles recovered, and 2
missing persons found in a 6 month period. This report not only showcases impressive
outcomes and data, but also reflects the thoughtful leadership and commitment of the
entire RTCC team.
Funded by nearly $4 million from the American Rescue Plan, the RTCC was launched in
Jan 2023 the first in Washington State. Staffed with three tactical analysts, a RTCC
Civilian Supervisor, a dedicated RTCC IT Manager, and led by Lt. Justin Elliott, it now
operates with extended coverage and is steadily increasing staffing to meet demand.”
They’ve implemented “Camera on Wheels” deployments in hotspot areas, leading to
noticeable reductions in vehicle prowls, and even supported wildfire evacuations by
monitoring traffic flows and directing resources in real time.
