The Problem: Fragmented Officer Technology

Patrol officers today toggle between disconnected applications during a single incident -- a CAD terminal, a separate camera viewer, a standalone LPR lookup, radio dispatch, and a mapping tool. Every application switch costs seconds, and in the field, seconds determine outcomes.

Before and after: fragmented officer tools versus WINK Security Patrol unified interface

One Screen. Everything.

Security Patrol consolidates real-time video, GPS-driven camera selection, license plate alerts, crowd analytics, and multi-unit coordination into one purpose-built interface for the patrol vehicle.

You provide the hardware. We bring it all together. Your existing LPR detectors, your red light cameras, your traffic sensors, your body cams, your drones -- every sensor your agency already owns goes on the map. We integrate into what you have, not the other way around.

No more swiveling between a camera client, a CAD terminal, an LPR database, and a mapping tool. Officers see exactly what they need based on where they are and what's happening around them -- automatically.

Built on the same WINK Forge and Media Router infrastructure that already powers DOT traffic systems and Public Eye citizen portals nationwide. Optional WINK Analytics integration adds LPR, crowd intelligence, and motion detection capabilities.

Tactical Dashboard Views

Every view an officer needs, accessible from a single interface. Swipe, tap, or let GPS context drive the display.

Five Core Capabilities

GPS Camera Proximity

As the patrol vehicle moves, the tablet automatically displays the nearest cameras. No manual searching, no memorizing camera IDs. Approaching an incident? Relevant feeds appear before you arrive.

  • Automatic camera discovery by GPS radius
  • Incident-based camera recommendations
  • Beat and sector camera organization
  • Patrol route camera mapping
  • Incident perimeter camera identification

License Plate Recognition

Integrates with your existing LPR detectors or adds LPR to any camera through optional WINK Analytics. Plates are checked against watchlists in real-time.

  • Stolen vehicle alerts
  • BOLO and Amber Alert matching
  • 150+ country plate formats
  • Chain-of-custody evidence logging

Crowd Intelligence

AI-driven crowd density monitoring detects unusual gathering patterns, dispersal events, and crowd growth trends. Officers get early warnings before situations escalate.

  • Real-time crowd density estimation
  • Abnormal behavior pattern alerts
  • Event and protest monitoring
  • Historical crowd trend analysis

Scene Escalation Detection

When multiple units respond to the same area, Security Patrol automatically activates scene coordination mode -- showing all responding officers and expanding camera coverage to the full incident perimeter.

  • Multi-unit proximity detection
  • Automatic perimeter camera expansion
  • Responding officer position overlay
  • Incident timeline logging

Unified Command Picture

Every officer on scene sees the same operational picture. Camera feeds, officer positions, LPR alerts, and crowd data are synchronized across all connected tablets in real-time.

  • Synchronized multi-tablet views
  • Command center feed sharing
  • Role-based information filtering
  • After-action review and export

Field-Optimized Performance

Purpose-built for the realities of patrol -- cellular dead zones, battery limits, and unpredictable network conditions.

  • Adaptive quality for network conditions
  • Emergency low-bandwidth mode
  • Background position monitoring
  • Battery usage optimization
  • Offline mode with cached content
  • Store & forward capability

Tactical Advantages

Enhanced situational awareness that gives officers an edge before, during, and after an incident.

How Security Patrol Compares

Capability WINK Security Patrol Legacy RTCC Systems Fragmented MDT Tools
GPS Camera Proximity (auto)
Integrated LPR on Tablet
AI Crowd Intelligence
Scene Escalation Detection
Sub-Second Video Latency
Multi-Agency Camera Sharing
Single-Screen Interface
Cloud + On-Prem + Tactical Deploy

Eliminating the "swivel chair" problem: Legacy RTCC systems were built for the command center. Fragmented MDT tools bolt together pieces that were never designed to work as one. Security Patrol was built from day one as a unified in-vehicle operations platform.

License Plate Recognition

Security Patrol integrates with your existing LPR detectors and can also add LPR capability to any camera feed through optional WINK Analytics integration. Either way, officers get real-time plate alerts directly on their tactical dashboard.

What Officers See

  • Watchlist matching -- stolen vehicles, BOLO, Amber Alerts, custom lists
  • Real-time alerts -- instant notification on the tablet when a plate hits
  • Photo evidence -- plate image, vehicle photo, timestamp, GPS location
  • Two-way database sync -- NCIC, state DMV, and agency-specific databases
  • Chain-of-custody logging -- every read timestamped and stored for evidence

With WINK Analytics Add-on

  • 99.8% recognition accuracy -- hybrid CNN + YOLO ensemble
  • Sub-100ms processing -- real-time plate reads at highway speed
  • 150+ country formats -- US states, Canadian provinces, international
  • All-weather operation -- rain, snow, glare, low-light, IR-illuminated
  • Add LPR to any camera -- turn any video feed into an LPR source

Cross-Jurisdictional Camera Sharing

Powered by WINK Media Router, Security Patrol enables multiple agencies to share camera resources while maintaining full control over access permissions. A county sheriff can share intersection cameras with a city police department without exposing internal feeds -- and both agencies keep their own audit trails.

Five-Tier Role-Based Access Control

  1. Officer -- GPS proximity cameras and assigned feeds only
  2. Supervisor -- Full beat/sector camera access, officer location view
  3. Commander -- Department-wide access, analytics dashboards
  4. Agency Admin -- Cross-department sharing controls, audit access
  5. Multi-Agency Coordinator -- Emergency override protocols, mutual aid sharing

Built for Officer Safety

Pre-Arrival Intelligence

Before an officer arrives on scene, Security Patrol has already identified nearby cameras, pulled relevant LPR history for the area, and checked crowd conditions. Officers approach with full situational awareness, not blind.

Real-Time Coordination

When multiple units converge, every officer sees the same tactical picture. Responding unit positions, camera coverage gaps, and suspect movement all update in real-time. No radio confusion about who's covering which angle.

Evidence Preservation

From the moment an officer approaches a scene, Security Patrol logs camera feeds, LPR reads, GPS positions, and timestamps. The complete event timeline is preserved for investigations, court proceedings, and after-action review.
