Elite Educates Law Enforcement on Power of Public-Private Partnering

Elite Interactive Solutions, a remote video guarding pioneer using patented intelligence and integration to achieve proven crime prevention, recently gathered law enforcement officials to its headquarters for a special invitational lunch-and-learn event. The function exemplifies Elite’s multifaceted mission to strengthen private-public partnerships by educating officers on how remote guarding directly prevents crime and protects properties in real-time, eliminates false alarms, boosts law enforcement apprehensions productivity, and enhances their safety via critical, live crime scene information.

Hosted by Elite’s Law Enforcement Advisory Board, the well-received proceedings encompassed touring the company’s leading-edge, subterranean Security Operations Command Center (SOCC), a multimedia presentation held within an adjacently located auditorium, a Q&A session, lunch and networking. The SOCC is located within one of L.A.’s most bulletproof buildings, built to withstand an 8.9-magnitude earthquake. Attendee enthusiasm ran high at the event, as did widespread interest to encourage their respective LE agencies to support remote guarding relationships.

“Working closely and collaboratively with law enforcement is a crucial element to Elite’s unmatched real-time crime prevention solution. Although 96% of incidents are directly resolved by our command center through live voice-downs to sites within an average of 7 seconds, it’s essential that for the other 4% in which law enforcement is engaged they fully understand Elite’s capabilities and veracity such that they provide priority response that leads to arrests and detainments,” says Elite Security Director Noel Delgado. “Our recent event was an excellent way to get officers out of their daily routines to observe firsthand how optimized remote guarding works. Virtually everyone who witnesses how our command center operates becomes a believer.”

Further demonstrating Elite’s private-public partnerships, the firm is also the only provider of its kind that maintains its own Law Enforcement Advisory Board (LEAB) and that is endorsed by FBI-LEEDA, which includes thousands of law enforcement executives. The LEAB serves as a protocol and communications bridge between the Elite SOCC and responding agencies.

“Elite has consistently demonstrated a companywide and nationwide commitment to stopping rather than reacting to crime, as well as acting in the best interests of not only their clients but police as well,” says LEAB member Justin Feffer, an attorney who retired in 2020 as commanding officer of the L.A. County D.A.'s Cyber Crime Section. “As someone who has been involved with law enforcement since 1988, I well know their challenges and how remote guarding serves as an invaluable force multiplier and safety net. It is an amazing experience when I tell them about it and see their eyes light up for that ‘Aha!’ moment.”

Members of the law enforcement community and security industry, along with property managers and other parties interested in seeing how leading-edge technology is being leveraged for real-time crime prevention are encouraged to contact Elite to schedule a command center tour.

    In situations where AI supports important security tasks like leading investigations and detecting threats and anomalies, transparency is essential.
