Hampton police highlight ARCTIC analytics and high‑impact patrols
Summary
Police described a Real Time Information Center that routes analyst observations to field units, supports faster medic response to crashes and helps track suspects with camera networks; officers also detailed HIP teams, NIBIN ballistic matching and focused traffic stops.
Lieutenant Pelham Felder and Lieutenant Sean Olsen outlined how Hampton’s Real Time Information Center (ARCTIC) and crime‑analysis products support operations. Felder said five analysts monitor cameras and databases 24/7 and that analysts’ virtual responses can speed police and fire response to crashes or suspected crimes.
“Those people actually got treatment a lot quicker than they normally would have,” Felder said when describing one mid‑July collision the center detected. Olsen described operational tactics the department uses after analysts identify trends: direct patrols, High Impact Patrol teams that concentrate resources and NIBIN ballistic linkage to tie casings across incidents. The presenters emphasized regionwide cooperation — analysts and detectives routinely share information with neighboring jurisdictions — and said some programs were expanded to meet current needs.
