Description

Genetec is a prominent provider of surveillance technology, supplying law enforcement with a range of invasive monitoring tools. Their offerings include video management systems, automatic license plate recognition (ALPR) software, and real-time crime center (RTCC) analytics to expand police surveillance networks. Genetec also leads a program to facilitate the process for law enforcement agencies to request and retrieve footage from private cameras. In 2017, Genetec developed the Citigraf platform specifically for the Chicago Police Department (CPD), one of the largest police forces in the U.S., to help manage and analyze their extensive data collection. Powered by Microsoft Azure, Citigraf integrates information from surveillance sensors and database records, using both real-time and historical data to generate calculations, visualizations, and alerts that provide CPD with "deep situational awareness." Microsoft is collaborating with Genetec to advance this platform with a "correlation engine" designed to interpret surveillance data more effectively. In 2016, the city of Detroit in Michigan launched Project Green Light, which uses Genetec Stratocast and Microsoft Azure to stream surveillance footage from local businesses and other entities to the Detroit Police Department. Microsoft has long provided facial recognition services to law enforcement through its extensive partnerships with Genetic and similar companies.
