First Major City Police Department in Northeast to Deploy
Next-Generation Tactical Command and Control System to Shorten Response
Time, Gain Geospatial Insights of Crime Trends, and Enhance Officer
Safety
RICHMOND, Va. & VIENNA, Va.–(EMWNews)–Ordia Solutions, the leading provider of tactical command and
control systems for first responders and their chain of command,
announces the successful deployment by the Richmond Police Department
(RPD) of Ordia Solutions’ next-generation
Mobile Tactical Collaboration System™ (MTCS)
and AdvanTraq™ GPS to enhance police
operations. The system will be used for a variety of functions from
critical incident response, major events security and critical
infrastructure protection, to routine patrol operations and weekly
briefings on crime trends throughout the city.
In addition to supplying the collaborative command and control software
and personnel GPS trackers, Ordia Solutions will provide the Department
with training, support, system customization, and additional services to
integrate MTCS with existing technologies including Intergraph®
CAD and AVL systems. “Knowing the real-time
location of our officers in relation to an operation, incident site,
support elements, and each other is of immense benefit to the chain of
command and officer safety,” said David M.
McCoy, Interim Chief, Richmond Police. “The
Ordia Solutions technology has given the Department a force-multiplier
advantage during the planning and execution of a major incident response
or routine police operation.”
Because the MTCS tactical command and control system is Web-based and
inherently interoperable, RPD is leading an effort to bring other local,
state, and federal law enforcement jurisdictions, as well as Fire and
EMS services in the Richmond area, to be part of a regional mutual aid
consortium using MTCS, for those public safety operations where a
regional, all-hazard, coordinated, and timely response is essential. “The
Richmond Police Department has had a rich history of aggressively
exploiting innovative technologies and processes to enhance its
community policing mission,” said Joe E.
Ordia, Chairman and CEO, Ordia Solutions. “This
MTCS deployment demonstrates that RPD will continue to lead its peers
around the nation in delivering a safer city for its residents and
visitors.”
