Transforming Urban Safety in Las Vegas:

How LVMPD Increased Coverage and Cut Response Time with Real-Time Technology

Las Vegas is more than casinos and bright lights — it’s one of the fastest-moving, most complex cities to keep safe, serving nearly 2 million residents and welcoming over 40 million visitors a year. At the heart of that responsibility is the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD), where Detective Paden Weber and his team at Fusion Watch — a Real-Time Crime Center (RTCC) — are evolving the department’s approach to community safety through real-time technology.

Based out of the Southern Nevada Counter Terrorism Center, Fusion Watch runs 24/7, combining experienced officers with dedicated civilian specialists to respond faster, smarter, and more collaboratively.

The Challenge

With so much ground to cover — geographically and operationally — LVMPD needed more than traditional policing methods. Patrol officers were responding to thousands of calls. Dispatchers were stretched thin. And with fragmented data spread across too many systems, it was hard to get a clear picture quickly.

The question became: How do you give officers the right information at the right moment — without being overwhelming? And how do you do it in a way that builds trust with the community?

The Solution

LVMPD turned to Coreforce’s Real-Time Intelligence platform to help create a connected, real-time view of what’s happening across the city. By using the real-time intelligence platform, Fusion Watch brought together license plate readers, public safety cameras, gunshot detection systems, facial recognition, and more — all into one powerful system. That meant:

OVER 90,000 LPR HITS

in one year, many leading to arrests within minutes, not month

Coordinated communication

between Fusion Watch operators and field officers over police radio

Video intelligence

used to solve crimes — and act in real time to prevent further harm

Dedicated civilian staff

supporting officers on the ground

"Real-Time Intelligence turns a once-fragmented ecosystem of technologies into a unified force multiplier, allowing us to respond smarter, act faster, and protect the community with purpose. We’re not just watching crime happen – we’re stopping it in real time"
