The Clovis Police Department in Clovis, CA, serves its rapidly growing community that is home to over 129,000 residents. Despite its growth, Clovis maintains a lean public safety model, with approximately 130 sworn officers and a total department staff of about 230 employees. As the city continues to expand, the need for advanced, real-time public safety technology has never been greater.

It had to be powerful, but also intuitive and accessible to analysts, officers, and supervisors alike. Most importantly, it needed to be built in a way that would support not just today’s workflows—but the future of real-time collaboration between departments, field units, city leaders, and neighboring agencies…
