Min 11:11 "If you have to stack up and go in... Get every long gun you can... go in and get our people; light that place up if you have to. Tell our people to keep their heads down."

Immediately, the main stream agenda was to push gun control and made it a national  issue and crisis. The dispatch summary contains audio of leadership requesting 'Real Time Crime' (Video position Min: 01:02: 00) assistance to get on the live feed of the active shooter who was streaming live on Facebook. An article about 'Real Time Crime' is included at the bottom of this description.

"...Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf and President Donald Trump both said they were monitoring the developing situation.

"Tonight is another reminder of the selfless sacrifice of our law enforcement officers and first responders," Wolf said. "We are praying for a peaceful resolution and the full recovery of all those injured. We must remain committed to combating violence and getting dangerous weapons out of our communities."

Wolf also announced Wednesday night that he's postponing the signing of an executive order to reduce gun violence from Thursday to a later date that has not yet been determined.

During a late Wednesday evening press conference, Mayor Jim Kenney pleaded for gun control in the wake of the shooting. 

"It's aggravating. It's saddening," he said. "It's just something we need to do something about. And if the state and federal government doesn't want to stand up to the NRA and some other folks, then let us police ourselves. But they preempt us on all kinds of gun control legislation."

Kenney also said that police officers deserve to be protected.

"They don't deserve to be shot at by a guy for four hours with an unlimited supply of weapons and an unlimited supply of bullets," he said. "It's disgusting and we've got to do something about it. And we need to do something about it quickly."

‘Real Time’ Crime Centers: The Future of Crime Fighting?

"...This new technology will provide immediate video or photos of crime suspects and their vehicles and license plates to police officers.

Birmingham police officials are also looking at installing new license plate readers.

Automated license plate readers (ALPRs) are “high-speed, computer-controlled camera systems that are typically mounted on utility poles, streetlights, highway overpasses, mobile trailers, or attached to squad cars. ALPRs capture all license plate numbers that come into view, along with the location, date, and time. The data, which includes photographs of the vehicle and sometimes its driver and passengers, is then uploaded to a central server.”

ALPR venders say that the information collected can be used by police to find out where a plate has been in the past, to determine whether a vehicle was at the scene of a crime, to identify travel patterns, and even to discover vehicles that may be associated with each other.

Robinson believes the city is at least a year away from making their own Real Crime Center a reality. In all, Smith said, roughly $3 million is needed to get fully up and running.

He also hopes another $1.5 million will be added to next year’s budget. “As businesses and neighborhood associations come on board,’’ he said, “the system will pay for itself in reduction of crime.”

Memphis Police Deputy Chief Don Crowe told AL.com that he has a mantra for Memphis as this new system becomes a reality: “No one should have to call us to tell us something is happening. We should already know it.”
