Regional analysis and monitoring of risk across disciplines
Statewide collaborative analysis and situational awareness on a Common Operating Picture

3. The Need for a CAL COP (Common Operating Picture)
As existing risk management ecosystems continue to expand, there is a growing need for a common view to share and visualize regional data across the state
To address stakeholder needs, the ecosystem needs:
Effective information sharing: Share infrastructure, incidents, events, intelligence, and threat information to users across the state
Control over sharing: Control what information is shared to stakeholders in other regions and for how long it is shared
Better access to statewide data: Ability to see a more complete picture of emerging events, leveraging data shared from across the state in an interface optimized for operational use
Enhanced collaboration: Unite the separate systems to provide users the ability to collaborate with other California risk management users
Existing DS7 Ecosystems

4. Expanded Reporting Capabilities
The Path Forward
Cal COP is an important evolution of the California statewide program and will deliver a significant enhancement to the existing program. The approach includes:
Trusted
Communities
of Interest
Private Sector Partners
Local PD/FIRE
Proprietary
Data and Systems
State Agencies
Cal COP
SARs
CAD
LPR
VIDEO
AVL
CIKR
AFN
Incidents
Training
Packages
Data Sharing & Security Model Increase in depth and breadth of data available to users authorized to view it
Statewide Watchboard
Brand new visualization of shared and local data optimized for operational use
STAS
UASIs
Scalable Solution
System supports easy integration of statewide data and simplified addition of new jurisdictions or communities of interest
Streamlined Training
New, exportable training packages extend existing training to more easily bring new users into the program
Expanded Reporting Capabilities
Availability of statewide data enables more robust reporting to meet state and Homeland Security requirements

5. Benefits of the Next Evolution
Built upon a unified data sharing environment, Cal COP provides many benefits to support statewide daily operational activities
Promotes the sharing of analytical findings, intelligence, and results through a statewide watchboard
Provides real-time actionable views and situational awareness across the State
Enables extended views of geo-located emergency assets and apparatus from one jurisdiction displayed on a watchboard for other communities of interest authorized to view it
Visual alerts regarding threats, suspicious activity reports, and incidents to authorized COI
Statewide availability of data feeds such as CAD, SARs, AVL, and LPR data will be useful in operations that require state context or span regional boundaries
Addition of a statewide school safety community with the ability to submit school-related threat data to local risk management platforms enables enhanced situational awareness and potential early warning to a developing situation
On-demand reports on local or state data and activities

6. System Screen: Sharing Capabilities
Share assets, events, incidents, and channel data to enhance situational awareness for other user communities
Advanced capabilities include the ability to set an expiration date for shared data
Share your data with user groups or with individual users from other communities

7. System Screen: Common Operating Picture (Watchboard)
Map controls, data layers, and drawing tools
View your own local data as well as data shared to you from others
Configure the view to show the data and timeframes that make sense for you
Table-based views of all local and shared data
Click icons to view summary details about local and shared data
Time-based list of threat and risk data
Collapsible widgets to maximize map view

8. Cal COP Use Cases – Mutual Aid Response (Wildfire)
Scenario:
Wildfire in LA County requires mutual aid resources from Orange County
Orange County responders are not familiar with the LA County critical infrastructure under threat or with ongoing incidents created and monitored by LA County
Orange County responders need fast and easy access to the data that’s relevant to their effort
Capabilities available under Cal COP:
LA users select critical data to share with Orange County users (assets, incidents, CAD, AVL, team locations)
Orange County users select data to share with LA users (AVL, field reports, team locations)
Orange County users access their Watchboard to:
Gain situational awareness by viewing shared wildfire data geospatially and viewing basic information about wildfire data
LA users access their Watchboard to:
Monitor overall response including shared data from Orange County responders
Outcome:
Orange County users have quick access to the LA County data that is relevant to their response efforts
Orange County users are familiarized with the environment prior to arrival and during response
Blue force tracking enables both Orange County and LA responders to be aware of each other’s locations and efforts, maximizing the efficiency of resource deployment
Shared data provides enhanced situational awareness and regional coordination is improved as managers from both jurisdictions can monitor a common operating picture

9. Cal COP Use Case – Intel Fusion (SARs/CAD/Incidents)
Scenario:
Multiple IED threat is detected in the LALB region
Concern around possibility of planned attack with additional threats to other jurisdictions
Capabilities available under Cal COP:
LALB users share relevant Suspicious Activity Repots (SARs), CAD, and incident data with all California Fusion Centers
NCRIC users, as one of the shared data recipients, are able to view shared data from LALB to look for similar patterns that may exist in the Bay Area
NCRIC users can share any relevant data in their jurisdiction back out to the other Fusion Centers
Outcome:
California Fusion Center users are better informed and have real-time access to unfolding events in the LALB region
Other jurisdictions use the shared LALB data to focus their efforts and rule out a similar threat in their own region
Other jurisdictions can share relevant data from their own regions to provide important context for the emerging threat
