Smart Policing in Action: How the City of Tucson Built a Unified Operating Picture


Event Date: October 21, 2025
Hosted By: Verkada & Carahsoft
As Arizona’s second-largest city and the seat of Pima County, Tucson is home to more than a million residents and over 7 million annual visitors. It’s a destination city with a busy civic calendar, where the University of Arizona anchors a daily influx of 50,000+ students, staff, and visitors. For the Tucson Police Department (TPD), that mix means daily operations, large planned events, and critical incidents, often at the city scale.

In October 2024, TPD launched the Community Safety Awareness and Response Center (CSARC) to deliver credible, real-time intelligence to officers, detectives, and community partners. Lieutenant Don Jorgenson, who leads the Crime Analytics Section within the Analysis Division, oversees CSARC and the Link Analysis and Strategic Operations (LASO) unit—data analysts who connect people, places, and cases.

View the webinar recording to hear from Lieutenant Jorgenson on how Tucson transformed the way city agencies collaborate, respond, and overcome disorganization.

During this webinar, you learned:
  • How to eliminate information silos: leveraging one pane of glass for IT, Security, and Operations to create a unified source of truth and faster response times.
  • The keys to scaling a city: common barriers and obstacles between departments and how to overcome them with efficient communication.
  • The benefits of smart policing: from NCIC alerts on stolen vehicles to faster investigations, learn real-time methods of success from RTCCs and smart policing.

AI is Driving Efficiency and Innovation for Federal Agencies

Artificial intelligence has real-world benefits for federal agencies — from AI-powered chatbots that can answer routine questions from citizens, to optimizing resource allocation in situations like disaster recovery and relief — AI can improve efficiency and service delivery. Plus, automation frees up employee time to work on more complex issues. AI is even being used to strengthen cybersecurity practices and secure federal networks.

At a recent FedInsider webinar, thought leaders from government and industry discussed how federal agencies can adopt AI tools to transform government-wide operations.
