Empowering Smarter Policing: Fountainhead Designs Real-Time CrimeCenter for Gastonia Police

In today’s rapidly evolving public safety landscape, real-time data and actionable
intelligence are game changers. Fountainhead Control Rooms is proud to have partnered
with the Gastonia Police Department in North Carolina to design and implement their
cutting-edge Real-Time Crime Center (RTCC)—a transformative space where technology
meets law enforcement to create safer communities.

A Smarter Approach to Policing

The Real-Time Crime Center provides operational intelligence that empowers officers with
critical information before they even arrive on scene. By integrating live video feeds,
advanced analytics, and communication tools, the RTCC allows officers to make more
informed decisions in the field—resulting in faster response times, safer outcomes, and
increased efficiency across the board.

As one officer noted, “It’s going to make policing more efficient and safer. The work here
translates into better public safety outcomes.”

Technology That Makes a Difference

In a recent case highlighted by a community member, the swift collaboration between the
police and the RTCC led to the quick identification and location of individuals involved in
criminal activity. After reporting an incident, the suspects were located within a
week—demonstrating how real-time capabilities directly support tangible results in
community safety.

Collaboration at Its Core

The success of Gastonia’s RTCC wouldn’t be possible without strong partnerships—not just
within Gastonia, but extending to collaborators in Raleigh, Washington D.C., and Atlanta. As
one leader expressed, “We really couldn’t do it without you.”

This sense of collaboration mirrors our philosophy at Fountainhead: every control room we
design is built with both mission and community in mind.
