# Asheville, NC approves surveillance tech for real-time crime intelligence

The Asheville City Council approved a $1.14 million federal grant to establish a Real-Time Intelligence Center using Fusus software, enabling police analysts to access multiple camera feeds from partners like city schools and the housing authority through a centralized map-based system. The technology is designed as a reactive tool focused on solving violent crimes in vulnerable communities, with no use of facial recognition or AI, and camera owners retaining control over their footage.
