SUMMERFIELD, NC, UNITED STATES, September 24, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Revolution Academy announced today that it has partnered with the Greensboro Police Department’s Real-Time Information Center (RTIC), becoming the first non-college school to do so. The collaboration is designed to enhance student safety, improve emergency response, and strengthen ties between the school and local law enforcement.

The RTIC, powered by Axon Fusus, allows trained analysts at GPD to access participating camera systems on an as-needed basis—such as during an investigation, a crime in progress, or when immediate assistance is needed. For Revolution Academy, this means that in rare but urgent situations, like if a student runs or walks away from campus, responding officers will be able to locate the area more quickly and provide faster, safer assistance.

“Student safety is always our highest priority,” said Michele Harris, principal of Revolution Academy. “By partnering with the RTIC, we are joining a proven system that has already helped Greensboro officers resolve cases more efficiently, while also respecting the privacy of our community.”

In its first year of operation, the RTIC played a role in developing investigative leads in nearly 90% of cases where live camera monitoring was used. In 2025 alone, RTIC supported officers in 950 incidents across Greensboro.

Participation in the program is strictly voluntary, with camera owners—including schools, businesses, and residents—choosing exactly which cameras to share, typically public-facing areas such as entrances, parking lots, and exterior spaces. The Greensboro Police Department only accesses camera feeds when there is an active need.

“Partnerships like this build trust and make our community safer,” said S.W. Patterson, Sergeant, Eastern D, Patrol Bureau, Greensboro Police Department. “We are proud to work with Revolution Academy as the first K–12 partner in the RTIC program.”
