Case Study

Los Angeles Police Department relies on

NEC displays in emergency operations

Quick Facts

Facility: Los Angeles Emergency Operations Center,

LAPD RACR Division

Location: Los Angeles, California

Challenge: Constructing a brand new facility that

encourages productivity with high-tech

digital screens for information display

Solution: 46” NEC X461UN, 46” P461,

40” MultiSync® LCD4020-AVT

Date: September 2009

When the Los Angeles Police Department’s (LAPD) Real-Time

Analysis and Critical Response (RACR) division needed a display

solution in its control center, it looked to Spectrum Video, Inc.

to design workstations and a video wall that would allow its

staff to work swiftly and efficiently, without worrying about the

dependability of its technology. The workstations allow RACR

staff to work in teams and enable collaboration, while area

monitors mounted from the ceiling helps with decision-making

in emergency situations. The ultra-narrow bezel video wall is

viewable from virtually anywhere within the brand new facility.

The RACR division of the

LAPD is a 24/7 fusion and

information processing

center where resources,

situation status of the city

and developing tactical

incidents are tracked. This

department also includes

daily detective support to

Los Angeles and complete

analysis on emerging crime

patterns.

AV Design Consultant

Spectrum Video is based

in California and provides

complete, custom solutions

for businesses looking

to communicate more

effectively. Spectrum offers a variety of services, including audio

visual design, engineering, control system user interface and project

oversight, living up to its motto of “clarity without complexity.”

The Challenge

Originally, the LAPD resided in the basement of City Hall.

Cramped and pressed for space, the City worked to build a brand

new facility for multiple stakeholders, including the Emergency

Management Department (EMD), LAPD RACR and the Los

Angeles Fire Department’s Main Dispatch and Department

Operations Center. Primary design plans for RACR featured a

rear-projection system with mirrors and projection screen that

showed emergency situation status in an area where officers

developed a course of action. Staff members were not looking

forward to constantly replacing projector lamps, and realized

bringing in a new flat-panel system would provide real estate

behind the displays, which could be used for equipment racks full

of AV-related gear.

The City had previous experience acquiring AV design from

Spectrum with other projects, so the choice to hire their services for

the new installation was easy. Bringing in Spectrum as architect

of the Audio Visual systems in the new facility allowed the LAPD

to verbalize its wants

and needs and let this

trusted consultant take

care of the vital features

and specifications of the

solution.

In designing the system,

Spectrum wanted to

dramatically improve the

RACR facility by creating

a seamless video wall that

would support a variety

of content and have

the ability to alternate

each screen’s content.

Spectrum determined

that the project would

require displays with high

For its RACR facility, the LAPD chose NEC’s 46” X461UN to outfit a video wall that

displays critical news and information from off-air and closed-circuit sources.
