Dispatch and intelligence
TECHNOLOGY & INTELLIGENCE
Early warning, so threats are addressed before they reach the street.
Technology at JDF serves the people on patrol. Dispatchers who know the neighborhood, monitoring and assessment behind them, and a roadmap that layers new infrastructure onto the street.
In operation today

Dispatch
PEOPLE FIRST. TECHNOLOGY BEHIND THEM.
When you call the hotline you reach a dispatcher who knows the neighborhood, not a call center. Units are already on patrol, and anything criminal goes straight to 911 and LAPD.
For any emergency or crime in progress, call 911. Then call the JDF Public Safety Hotline, answered by dispatchers who know the neighborhood.
Communications, lighting, barricades and new patrol tools are funded by the community, one capability at a time.
