County police chief says regional intelligence center won national award, expansion planned for 2026
Summary
Chief Kurt Frizz updated the St. Charles County Council on the Regional Information Intelligence Center (RIC), describing its functions (camera and license‑plate monitoring, radio traffic monitoring) and noting the RIC won a national 'Real Time Crime Center of the Year' award; the RIC will relocate to a new Maryland Heights facility in early 2026.
Chief Kurt Frizz updated the council about the Regional Information Intelligence Center (RIC), which St. Charles County joined as a partner in 2022. Frizz said the RIC monitors live cameras and license‑plate readers, listens to radio traffic and provides real‑time location intelligence to enhance responder safety, track suspects and support investigations.
Frizz described growth in requests for camera footage and license‑plate reader hits since the county joined and said the RIC recently received national recognition: the center was awarded Real Time Crime Center of the Year at a national conference. He said the RIC will move into a new purpose‑built facility in Maryland Heights in early 2026 that will provide upgraded technology and space.
Council members thanked Frizz for the update and noted the center’s role in supporting regional law enforcement operations. No formal action was taken on the presentation; it was delivered as an oral report from the county executive’s office.
