Elite Interactive Solutions, a remote video guarding pioneer using proprietary intelligence and integration to achieve proven crime prevention, recently hosted several law enforcement officials at its headquarters for a demonstration and tour of the company’s pioneering-edge Security Operations Command Centre (SOCC). 

On hand were El Segundo (Calif.) Police Department Chief Saul Rodriguez along with precinct Captains Ryan Danowitz and Gilbert Sanchez. They met with Elite representatives including CEO Aria Kozak, President Michael Zatulov, Security Director Noel Delgado, Law Enforcement Liaison Mitch Tavera and Business Development VP Andrew Levin. 

Elite’s crime technologies

Elite is at the forefront of private security solutions providers partnering with public safety

I was impressed with Elite’s crime prevention technologies,” says Rodriguez, who was chief earlier this year following more than 30 years of distinguished service. “I believe that Elite is a valuable law enforcement partner in preventing crime in local communities.”

Elite is at the forefront of private security solutions providers partnering with public safety to prevent crime in real-time, eliminate false alarms, and help law enforcement achieve arrests and respond more safely by acting as a live eyewitness to crimes in progress.

Elite is also the only provider of its kind that maintains its own Law Enforcement Advisory Board (LEAB) and that is endorsed by FBI-LEEDA, which includes thousands of law enforcement executives. The LEAB serves as a protocol and communications bridge between the Elite SOCC and responding agencies.  

Elite has consistently demonstrated a companywide and nationwide commitment to stopping rather than reacting to crime, as well as acting in the best interests of not only their clients but also police,” says Tavera, who spent 39 years with the El Segundo Police Department, the last seven as chief of police.

Crime prevention solution 

Participants universally walk away impressed with the state-of-the-art facility and operations

Tavera added: “This is evidenced in all they do, including staffing their command centre with former military and law enforcement personnel and reducing false alarms to zero. I have not seen any other security companies this proficient or professional.”

To that end, Elite is bullish on educating the marketplace about what remote video guarding is, how it works and its benefits. The visit by the chief and captains is the latest in a long line of guests invited to come onsite to learn about the crime prevention solution firsthand, see it in action and ask questions. Participants universally walk away impressed with the state-of-the-art facility and operations.

Crime monitoring centre

Seeing is believing as they say, and we are very proud of our crime monitoring centre and special partnership with police. Both have been developed and perfected over time,” says Kozak, who earlier this year was inducted into the Security Industry Hall of Fame. 

As a visionary, I long dedicated myself to a solution that truly prevented crime and through the years built deep relationships with law enforcement. Today, those efforts are realised through many thousands of crime preventions and arrests.”
