Glendale Police Department: Peregrine will ‘make an impact on crime’ in the LA area

GLENDALE, Calif. — The Glendale Police Department built its real-time intelligence center (RTIC) from the ground up in less than a year. According to Lt. Sean Riley of the Glendale PD, Peregrine is the “backbone” of the agency’s RTIC.

“We have all this data in all these different places; it’s really hard to access,” Riley told Policing Matters podcast host Jim Dudley. But with Peregrine, Riley said, “My real-time intelligence center operators can click on one button and bring up premise history — 30, 60, 90 days — who’s related to the residence, all the body-worn camera evidence that’s ever been taken in that geographic location, criminal history, you name it. And they’re able to feed that to the officers almost immediately.”

Riley added that Peregrine is enabling seamless data sharing among the Glendale PD and other municipal police departments in the Los Angeles area, including the LAPD.

“There’s a bigger conversation about, regionally, how we’re all going to share data through Peregrine, because crime is transient through our cities,” he said. “It really is going to help connect dots and then allow our real-time intelligence centers to talk and strategize and really make an impact on crime.”
