Real-Time Crime Fighting: Edmonton RCMP's Tech Edge
•
In Edmonton, Alberta, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police operate a state-of-the-art Real-Time Operations Centre. This centre uses advanced technology, including overhead cameras and augmented reality, to track and apprehend criminals in real-time. The centre handles hundreds of events weekly, from armed standoffs to basic officer queries. In 2024, it supported over 15,000 incidents, and by mid-2025, it had surpassed 16,000. The centre also coordinates across towns and agencies, even providing map pins for officers in unfamiliar areas. Additionally, the RCMP is expanding its drone usage, with 71 already in service in places like Red Deer, providing critical time and distance for safer operations. Checkout Solipillow.com
