At its June 17 meeting, the Fremont City Council approved an agreement of up to $874,151 with Constant Technologies, Inc. to design and install a Real Time Information Center (RTIC) at the Fremont Police Department. The new 24/7 facility is intended to boost the city’s ability to respond to crime and public safety incidents through centralized technology and real-time data analysis.
Funded by a $2.45 million state grant aimed at curbing organized retail theft, the RTIC will serve as a modern command hub, staffed by trained analysts and equipped with live video feeds, automated license plate readers, and integrated access to law enforcement databases. City officials say the center will enhance officer safety, improve response times, and support investigations through advanced technology and coordinated operations.
The contract with Constant Technologies includes layout design, engineering, installation of technical equipment, software, training, and ongoing maintenance. The company was selected after a competitive bidding process, with Fremont staff citing its experience building command centers for law enforcement agencies and major clients including Meta.
Two new analyst positions will be dedicated to the RTIC, providing real-time support to officers in the field and monitoring issues such as traffic collisions and missing persons in addition to criminal activity.
City staff noted the project will be built within existing space at police headquarters and is exempt from environmental review under California law. The RTIC is expected to be fully operational by the end of the state grant period in December 2026.
