A device, system, and method for an electronic response to a potential carjacking is provided. A device receives: a location and vehicle ignition status of a vehicle; and sensor data generated by one or more sensors that are onboard the vehicle, the sensor data different from the location and the vehicle ignition status. The device determines whether the location of the vehicle is associated with a carjacking type of location, and whether a combination of the vehicle ignition status and the sensor data meet a carjacking threshold condition. When both the location of the vehicle is associated with the carjacking type of location and the carjacking threshold condition is met, the device: outputs an alert at the vehicle indicative of, or associated with, the potential carjacking; and/or causes, a notification to be transmitted to a communication device associated with a public safety agency or a monitoring service.

A method for providing incident specific information at a vehicle computer. In operation, the vehicle computer receives an incident assignment including information related to a current incident from a dispatch computer. The vehicle computer further receives an information request and in response, identifies a first context parameter by co-relating the information request with information related to the current incident and a second context parameter by co-relating the information request with information not related to the current incident. The vehicle computer generates a response to the information request based on the first context parameter when the current incident status identifies that the vehicle is responding to the current incident. Otherwise, the vehicle computer generates a response to the information request based on the second context parameter.

A computer apparatus, such as a validator node, for validating data records in a distributed electronic ledger may be configured to receive a proposed data record submitted by an originating agent of an originating agency to a distributed ledger. In response to the proposed incident-related data record, other agents within the originating agency may, based on validation criteria, submit one or more responsive data records that may provide information for use in determining a validity of the proposed incident-related data record. Validator nodes hosted by external agencies may submit validation responses relative to a validity of the proposed incident-related data record. The system may determine that the proposed data record is valid. Based a consensus algorithm, the system may responsively append the proposed data record or an indication of validity to the distributed ledger or to a different distributed ledger.

A process for maintaining geofence definitions associated with criminal organizations includes maintaining, at an electronic computing device, a stored first geofence definition defining a geographic area associated with a first criminal organization. The computing device receives audio and/or video streams from devices located outside of and/or inside of a boundary of the first geofence definition, and detects, via the one or more audio and/or video streams, a pattern-of-conduct of one or more individuals associated with the first criminal organization or associated with another criminal organization known to have an adversarial relationship with the first criminal organization. Responsive to detecting the pattern-of-conduct the computing device expands or contracts a boundary of the first geofence definition to create an updated first geofence definition associated with the first criminal organization and provides the updated first geofence definition to one or more target devices for display or further electronic processing.

A process for electronically detecting a criminal organization out-of-boundary condition includes first maintaining a stored first geofence definition defining a geographic area associated with a first criminal organization. One or more audio and/or video streams or RF identifiers from recording devices located outside of the first geofence definition are received. An out-of-boundary condition is then detected in the streams or identifiers in which an individual determined to be associated with the first criminal organization is detected outside of the first geofence definition. Responsive to detecting the out-of-boundary condition, causing an electronic notification of the out-of-boundary condition to be one of output and transmitted to another computing device notifying the another computing device of the out-of-boundary condition.
