Hermosa Beach Police Department will receive $963,000 in federal funds for what Police Chief Paul LeBaron describes as a Real Time Crime Center.

The Real Time Crime Center will not be a physical building, but rather a technology platform that LeBaron believes will help police identify suspects quicker, keep officers safer, and help them catch suspects who otherwise may not have been caught.
