Techniques for active shooter response capability (asrc)—community law enforcement

Abstract

The Active Shooter Response Capability (ASRC) integrates the ASRC application software, heads-up-display (HUD) smart glasses, ASRC processor/transmitter/controller (PTC) and antennas, with either an existing or ASRC provided CCTV/video surveillance, gunshot detection system (GDS), and loudspeaker (1MC). The PTC provides connectivity for multiple devices to accommodate dedicated processing for multiple response teams. ASRC system enables real-time situation awareness providing first responders the ability to visually locate and track an active shooter while executing a breach entry into the scene. When first responders approach the site of a reported active shooter or gunshot detection system alert of gunshot, the ASRC app is accessed on the squad car onboard computer or optional ASRC tablet which remotely syncs with the facility's PTC. This interaction enables the scroll thru each CCTV/Surveillance camera view to locate and lock-on/auto track the shooters movements. This video is live streamed to the officer worn HUD smart-glasses while executing the enforcement. Additionally, the video is simultaneously live streamed to squad car on-board computer and/or optional ASRC tablet and relayed in real-time to headquarters and or scene command post. The ASRC private sector implementation requires the installation of the ASRC PTC controller and software which is connected to existing CCTV and GDS systems or provided as part of the ASRC capability. For Law Enforcement ASRC implementation is at the squad car level and includes the HUD smart-glasses head gear and the ASRC application software installed on the squad car on-board computer and or optional ASRC ruggedized tablet. ASRC provides real-time response capability and is applicable for all facilities and venues.
