SARASOTA, Fla. (WWSB) -

The Sarasota Police Department is seeing big results in their new Real Time Operations Center.

ROC was only put into action a year ago, but the department says it’s already making a difference in the community.

SPD says by connecting technology like traffic cameras, license plate readers and data systems, the ROC gives officers a complete picture of what’s happening throughout the City of Sarasota.

The result is better situational awareness, safer responses, and stronger community trust through smarter, technology-driven policing.

On Wednesday, October 22nd, Sarasota Police Chief Rex Troche appeared on ABC 7 News at Noon to talk about the program’s success.
