One evening at home, a dispatcher was talking with her spouse, a detective, who was frustrated with a case involving a suspect entering a building through the ductwork to steal marijuana plants.

He recalled a similar incident from the past but couldn’t locate the previous report. She asked whether he had checked ForceMetrics. He said he hadn’t.

A few days later, when she returned to the dispatch center for her shift, she searched the word “DUCT” in the ForceMetrics Velocity™ platform. Instantly, the platform surfaced the previous incident report her spouse had remembered: same building, same unusual point of entry, same pattern.
