3:40 PM EST: Creating Solvability with Real-Time Crime Centers (RTCCs): Impacts on Homicide and Shooting Investigations
Sergeant Chris Mastroianni – Capital City Command Center, Hartford Police DepartmentConsiderable research indicates that the outcomes of homicide and shooting investigations are likely influenced by a range of factors, including inherited case characteristics, investigative actions, forensic testing, and agency resources. Recent advancements in technologies available to law enforcement may help fill persistent gaps in solvability, but research remains limited on their effectiveness.
