We’re excited to announce that our President and CEO, Eric Tasso, will be taking the stage at ISC East in New York on November 19th in an SIA Education panel. The conversation will focus on, “The Emerging RTCC: Balancing Privacy Concerns vs. the Public Good”. This topic is particularly relevant as urban areas face rising crime rates, leading to an increasing demand for Real-Time Crime Centers (RTCCs). These centers allow law enforcement to access real-time video feeds from both public and private sources, enabling quicker, more efficient responses to incidents. Yet, as these powerful tools gain traction, finding a balance between privacy, protection, and the complexities of public-private collaboration remains a driving factor in this discussion.

He will be joined on the panel by Chief James A. Sarkos, former project manager for several Atlantic City Police Department initiatives, leading efforts to implement surveillance technologies aimed at enhancing public safety in the city. Chief Sarkos will offer valuable insights into the operational and ethical considerations of camera-sharing programs. Also joining is Sylvester Servance, an experienced Director of Venue Security with a background in overseeing large-scale security operations for high-profile organizations. He will share his perspective on the unique security challenges faced by major venues and how RTCCs can effectively address these concerns.

Whether you’re involved in video technology, law enforcement, or simply interested in the evolving landscape of urban safety, this discussion promises to be both informative and thought-provoking. Our panelists are ready to share their perspectives on how to harness the power of RTCCs responsibly. We hope you’ll join us at ISC East on November 19th at 3 PM in Room 1A08 to be part of this critical conversation about technology, public safety, and privacy.
