Centerville PD is seeing powerful results with Live911—real-time 911 call audio delivered straight to officers in the field. Since adopting the technology in July, officers have shaved up to 30 seconds off response times and improved how they assess high-stress situations. By hearing a caller’s tone, fear, or urgency, they’re better prepared the moment they arrive on scene. Just last week, an officer heard a live 911 call describing suspicious individuals moving from car to car with a flashlight at an apartment complex. Within moments, three suspects were caught—including one who had already stolen a vehicle. "It's been just a few short months, and we’ve already seen real success," said Sergeant Steven Kocol. From burglaries to overdoses, Live911 is helping Centerville respond faster—and smarter. #Live911 #PublicSafety #SituationalAwareness #LawEnforcementInnovation #SavingLives

Centerville Police Department is taking response time to the next level with Live911.

Live911 also maps caller locations within feet using cell tower pings—helping officers arrive more informed and better prepared. As Sgt. Steven Kokal explains, “Those few seconds make all the difference.” Centerville PD is currently the only department in the Miami Valley — and one of just four in Ohio — using Live911, and it’s already improving outcomes. Next, they plan to integrate the system with their Drone as First Responder program.
