On Monday, March 7, Henry County unveiled the Real Time Crime Center (RTCC) with a ribbon cutting ceremony at the Emergency Operations Center.  

The RTCC will track active response calls throughout the county and allow for advanced detection, rapid communication, and efficient response. It will also provide public safety officials with comprehensive intelligence to identify patterns to assist in fighting and even preventing crime. This is accomplished with camera technology throughout the county and the ability for businesses and residents to be part of the camera registration program.  

County Manager Cheri Hobson-Matthews said she is pleased with the service the new center will offer the citizens of Henry County. 

“I am so pleased with what we are able to offer as another incentive in concierge service to our citizens. It is not only a benefit for our county facilities but for businesses, residents, and even the school system.” said Matthews 

Deputy Chief Mike Ireland recognized Chief Mark Amerman for originally developing the idea of the center and thanked all parties involved with development in the Chief’s absence.  

“Thank you to the Chair, County Manager, Facilities Maintenance for being a big help to make this happen. The Real Time Crime Center is the Chief’s baby and we’re glad the idea has come into fruition.”  

Sergeant Glenn Turner detailed how citizens can get involved.  

“Businesses as well as everyday citizens can register their camera, once the camera is added we will be able to see crimes in real time when reported.”
