SecureLA brings together leaders from public safety, transportation, mobility, government, and technology for a full day of collaboration. A key part of the event is a series of four roundtable sessions—focused, interactive discussions built around the real issues agencies are facing today.

Below is an overview of each session and the guiding questions that will help steer the discussion.

RTCC – Enhancing Operational Awareness

Real-Time Crime Centers (RTCCs) have become essential for enabling faster response, improving coordination, and elevating situational awareness. This session explores how agencies can strengthen visibility and unify the growing number of data streams used in daily operations.

Session Summary

Participants will discuss what real-time situational awareness means today, where visibility gaps still exist, and how to move toward a more unified operational picture. This conversation is ideal for teams looking to enhance coordination, integrate technology, and increase overall responsiveness.

Guiding Questions

• What does ‘real-time situational awareness’ mean for your agency today, and where are the biggest visibility gaps you still face?
• How can we better integrate data streams—video, CAD, ALPR, body-worn cameras, sensors—into a single actionable picture for responding officers?
• Where do neighboring cities, counties, and transportation agencies intersect operationally, and what real-time information would you benefit from sharing across jurisdictions?
• What challenges do you face with staffing, training, or policies that prevent your RTCC from being fully utilized, even when the technology exists?
• If you could design the next phase of your RTCC from scratch, what capabilities or technologies would you prioritize to increase officer safety, response efficiency, and investigative outcomes?

Leveraging Public – Private Partnerships for Impact

Public safety and city operations increasingly rely on collaboration between agencies and private-sector technology partners. When structured well, these partnerships can improve efficiency, expand capabilities, and introduce innovation faster than traditional paths allow.

Session Summary

This discussion centers on responsible collaboration — choosing the right partners, developing transparent agreements, and ensuring that technologies support mission-driven outcomes. Attendees will share experiences, challenges, and examples of successful partnerships.

Guiding Questions

• What challenges are you facing today that cannot be solved by public resources alone—and where could a private-sector partner meaningfully fill that gap?
• How do you determine which private-sector organizations are appropriate to partner with, and what criteria ensure the relationship remains mission-focused and ethical?
• What information-sharing barriers exist today between public agencies and private partners, and what would responsible, secure sharing look like in practice?
• Can you share examples where a public–private partnership created measurable operational impact—faster response times, better situational awareness, stronger community engagement, etc.?
• If you could design your ideal public–private partnership model—with no bureaucratic constraints—what would it look like, and what outcomes would you expect in the first 12 months?

ITS – Modernizing Transportation, Parking, and Mobility

Modern mobility requires more than legacy infrastructure. Changing traffic patterns, evolving mobility options, and growing technology ecosystems all influence how cities, campuses, and regions move people and manage roads.

Session Summary

This session explores the future of traffic management, transit coordination, parking modernization, and multimodal mobility. Participants will examine real-time data integrations and cross-agency collaboration strategies that can enhance flow and reduce congestion.

Guiding Questions

How are changing mobility patterns—micromobility, rideshare, EV infrastructure—challenging your current transportation and parking systems?”

• What real-time data streams (traffic sensors, transit feeds, parking systems, cameras, ALPR, etc.) would most improve mobility management if integrated into a unified ITS platform?
• Where do you see the biggest opportunities to leverage technology to reduce congestion, improve transit reliability, or optimize parking availability?
• What barriers—policy, funding, staffing, tech limitations—prevent you from modernizing your transportation ecosystem at the pace you’d like?
• How can cities, counties, campuses, and private operators collaborate to support seamless mobility across jurisdictions and modes of travel?

UAS – Drone Strategies & Defeat / Recovery (DFR)

Drones are playing a rapidly expanding role in operational awareness, emergency response, and event management. At the same time, agencies must be prepared to detect and respond to unauthorized or malicious drone activity.

Session Summary

This conversation focuses on scaling drone programs, overcoming regulatory constraints, and preparing for counter-UAS scenarios. Participants will share lessons learned and explore how drone intelligence can integrate into broader operational systems.

Guiding Questions

• How is your agency currently using drones for operational awareness, and what missions or response types would benefit most from expanding a DFR (Drone-as-First-Responder) program?
• What legal, regulatory, or airspace challenges (FAA waivers, BVLOS, Part 107, geofencing) are slowing your ability to deploy or scale UAS programs?
• What technologies or protocols do you have—or need—to detect, identify, and mitigate unauthorized or malicious drone activity in your jurisdiction?
• How can real-time intelligence from drones be integrated into RTCCs, dispatch, or field units to support safer, faster, and more informed decision-making?
• If you could design an ideal UAS ecosystem—including launch sites, automation, DFR workflows, partnerships, and counter-UAS—what would it look like in the next 3–5 years?

Join the Conversation

The SecureLA roundtable sessions provide an opportunity for cross-industry collaboration, practical discussion, and shared learning. By participating, attendees gain valuable insight into regional challenges and help shape strategies that strengthen safety, mobility, and operational success across Southern California.
