The Real Time Crime Center (RTCC) helped the Glendale Police Department officers by providing live updates and monitoring city cameras to track the getaway car.
According to Stewart, Glendale Police Department was able to track down the suspect by using predictive analysis to determine the suspect’s location and the timeframe of the incident. By narrowing down possible vehicles in the area matching the description of a four-door blue car, the Glendale Police Department identified a Volkswagen car and obtained a partial license plate.
Using the said partial plate information, the Glendale Police Department traced the vehicle back to a rental place connected to the suspect. As a result, Glendale Police Department officers were able to arrest Corrales for drug charges and for the shooting at Bonsall Park South.
The RTCC (Real-Time Crime Center) has been a valuable asset to the Glendale Police Department since 2019. It has recently undergone upgrades to improve its effectiveness.
