Case Study: Brookhaven Police Department strengthens public safety and mental health responses with ForceMetrics Velocity

How Brookhaven PD Uses ForceMetrics to Identify Crime Trends, Support Mental Health Responses, and Strengthen Investigations

The Brookhaven Police Department faced a challenge with fragmented data, lacking a unified system to identify crime patterns and track individuals with frequent mental health crisis calls. This prevented officers and clinicians from accessing critical historical information in the field, limiting their ability to de-escalate situations and make informed decisions. They turned to ForceMetrics for a solution.

Brookhaven PD implemented ForceMetrics Velocity™, a centralized platform that integrated real-time data from RMS and CAD systems. The solution provided quick access to case history, dashboards for trend analysis, and integrated workflows. This led to faster investigations, improved officer safety, and more effective mental health co-responding. The measurable impact includes over 9,700 system searches year-to-date and nearly half of the department actively using the platform, making ForceMetrics an essential daily tool.
