Kalamazoo, MI Operations Center Public Safety Responses

The Kalamazoo Strategic Operations Center (KSOC) uses predictive software to anticipate crime patterns and allocate personnel. Three KSOC analysts keep the city ahead of public safety threats by evaluating social media behavior. Partnerships with neighboring departments and state law enforcement officials improve outcomes through shared data. The KSOC has proven useful in coordinating city department responses to COVID-19.
