New Technology Strengthens Capital Region Real-Time Crime Center Operations Across Leon County

March 27, 2026

The Tallahassee Police Department (TPD), in partnership with Florida State University Police Department (FSUPD), the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) and the Leon County Sheriff's Office (LCSO), is pleased to announce the implementation of Connect Tallahassee, an advanced technology program designed to enhance real-time information sharing and strengthen public safety operations across the community.

This collaborative effort, supported through the Capital Region Real Time Crime Center, represents a significant step forward in how law enforcement partners work together to prevent and respond to crime.

Connect Tallahassee serves as the community-facing component of this initiative. Residents can voluntarily register their security cameras, allowing law enforcement to send electronic requests for video footage in the event of an incident. Through a secure link, residents can review their recorded footage and share any relevant video with investigators.

Business partners also have the option to integrate their exterior camera systems, enabling the voluntary sharing of live video feeds. This capability enhances situational awareness and strengthens law enforcement's ability to respond to, investigate, and deter criminal activity.

"This is not about surveillance, it's about collaboration," said Chief Lawrence Revell. "By leveraging technology and strengthening our partnerships, we are enhancing our ability to respond quickly, solve crimes more efficiently, and ultimately keep our community safer."

This proactive approach supports a continued transition toward intelligence-led policing and crime prevention.

The partnership between TPD, FDLE, FSUPD, and LCSO highlights a shared commitment to innovation, cooperation, and community engagement.

"This initiative reflects the future of public safety, where technology, collaboration, and community involvement come together to create a safer environment for everyone," Revell added.

Connect Tallahassee gives our agencies a powerful tool to enhance collaboration, streamline information flow, and improve how we serve the people of Leon County," said Sheriff Walt McNeil "This investment supports our mission to protect our community with professionalism and innovation."

"It takes everyone to create a culture of safety," said FSUPD Chief Jason Trumbower. "FSUPD is proud to stand alongside our partners and be a part of this dynamic initiative to strengthen and safeguard our community."

"We are proud to work alongside and support our law enforcement partners as they work to protect the communities they serve," said FDLE Commissioner Mark Glass. "This initiative demonstrates how collaboration and community engagement strengthen public safety across our region."
