AI Technology Boosts Safety at Retail Centers
Advanced technology is transforming retail center security—and the city of Oxford, Alabama is a prime example. After facing a spike in car break-ins, the community successfully turned the tide using artificial intelligence. Police Chief Bill Partridge shares how AI is playing a powerful role in protecting public spaces and reshaping local crime prevention strategies, including:
- The use of ECAM’s Mobile Surveillance Units to provide around-the-clock threat detection and immediate response to car break-ins at shopping centers.
- The development of a Real-Time Crime Center where regional, state, and Federal agencies share intelligence that has helped reduce crime by double digits over the past couple years as well as increase opportunities for grant funding through agency collaboration.
Chief Partridge identified a growing issue with car break-ins in his community, which led him to discover ECAM’s advanced security solutions. By educating the public and promoting transparency, he gained strong community support for the technology. The result? Car break-ins dropped to zero—and the police department saved money just a few years after implementation.
