Success Stories

Real Agencies. Real Results.

Coreforce strives to be the gold standard for promoting safe communities through vital first responder and law enforcement technologies.
Before deploying PULSAR by Utility™, the DeWitt Iowa Police Department struggled to effectively monitor vehicles entering and exiting the city, making it difficult to quickly track down suspects involved in crimes. The city’s layout created natural blind spots, and with limited resources, officers found it challenging to cover all entry points, leading to slower response times in investigations.

After implementing PULSAR Fixed ALPR cameras, the department quickly saw results. Within the first two weeks of using the PULSAR Fixed cameras, we solved two crimes and recovered several thousand dollars’ worth of stolen items,” says Chief Porter of the DeWitt IA Police Department.

These cameras are already proving to be a very valuable asset to our city, and I’m excited to see the full implementation enhance our law enforcement capabilities even further. The deployment of 10 ALPR cameras has significantly improved Dewitt’s crime prevention and investigation efforts.
