Dive Summary:
- J.C. Penney plans to donate 5,500 sq. ft. of unused retail space to the Cook County Regional Organized Crime (CCROC) Task Force in Illinois in an effort to fight organized retail theft.
- The donated space will become the Motorola Real-Time Crime Center, and will serve as a staging point to coordinate the efforts of law enforcement in fighting retail crime.
- “It’s a one-stop shop for building an investigative strategy,” says Mark Van Beest with J.C. Penney. “You can delve into incidents utilizing the technology available and pull cases together for prosecution.”

In addition, data from the Real-Time Crime Center solution is made actionable with the integration of a radio console to enable real-time direct voice communications with officers in the field and real-time video streaming to a vehicle or hand-held device over existing carrier or private wireless networks. The solution includes sensing capabilities that can pick up input — such as gunshots, alarms and security camera feeds — and deliver them in real-time to retail or law enforcement personnel in the field.
