NC4, an innovator in law enforcement technology, has been selected by the Fort Myers Police Department (FMPD), NC4 Street Smart to help in their fight against crime.
With the installation of Street Smart, the 206 sworn officers of the FMPD will be equipped with the sophisticated technology and critical resources they need to reduce crime and contribute to the safety of the community.
The FMPD protects a population of over 77,000 residents and is the county seat and commercial center of Lee County, Florida.
Street Smart will help the department provide safety and security to its residents by providing a daily-use crime-fighting solution that arms police officers with critical real-time data, while patrolling their community.
The solution will allow the department to stay apprised of activities and to collaborate using situation-based bulletins, secure blogs, and case management tools that optimize the sharing of crime-related information in order to pinpoint crimes, patterns, and incidents.
“Community partnership is vital to our efforts to reduce and solve crime,” said Derrick Diggs, Chief of the Fort Myers Police Department.
“We continue to engage community stakeholders and our law enforcement partners in our efforts to reduce crime and to bring justice to victims and their family members.”
“Our community will benefit from our partnership with NC4 and this technology, when deployed, will give our officers real-time data that is crucial to preventing and solving crime.”
Officers no longer need to rely on a roll call board, information on notepads, meeting takeaways, etc.
Crime data can be in one common operating picture that is updated around the clock.
Having information readily available helps solve crimes more quickly, which will also help reduce criminal activity.

“We are excited that another agency in Florida will be using Street Smart to fight crime,” said Rob Wolf, Vice President, NC4 Public Safety.
“This solution will help officers in Fort Myers provide more effective and efficient law enforcement services to its residents.”
