Tuesday: Mayor Harrell, Chief Barnes Celebrate Early Successes of Real Time Crime Center 

Seattle – Tuesday, Mayor Bruce Harrell and Police Chief Shon Barnes will celebrate the initial implementation and early successes of Seattle Police Department’s Real Time Crime Center (RTCC).

During the event, SPD will share video that shows the power of the center’s capabilities in solving a gun-related crime. Media will be able to take b-roll footage and photographs inside the RTCC.
