Public safety agencies like the Philippine National Police (PNP), National Bureau of Investigation (NBI), and other law enforcement bodies face one major challenge: keeping up with the volume of data and security threats in today’s digital age. Traditional investigation and surveillance methods are no longer enough to match the speed and sophistication of criminal activities.

This is where AI-powered security systems such as AIRA Track and ARVAS (Anomaly Recognition Video Analytics System) come in. Together, they represent the future of law enforcement, providing faster, smarter, and more proactive solutions to protect communities.

The Challenge of Traditional Public Safety Tools

Agencies like the PNP and NBI rely heavily on CCTV networks, reports, and manual investigation techniques. While effective in the past, these methods have key limitations:

  • Hours of Manual Review: Investigators spend countless hours combing through CCTV footage to identify suspects or incidents.

  • Delayed Response: Security teams often act only after crimes have been committed.

  • Human Error: With overwhelming amounts of video data, it’s easy to miss critical details.

In a world where every second counts, law enforcement needs tools that can deliver real-time intelligence and faster investigations.

AIRA Track is an AI-driven investigative tool designed to accelerate case resolution. It processes large amounts of video data and automatically identifies persons of interest, objects, or patterns across multiple feeds.

Key Benefits for Public Safety Agencies

  • Reduced Investigation Time: What once took days or weeks of manual CCTV review can now be accomplished in minutes.

  • Facial and Object Recognition: Helps identify suspects, vehicles, or items tied to criminal activity.

  • Cross-Camera Tracking: Links movements across multiple cameras, even in large cities or facilities.

  • Evidence-Ready Reports: Generates structured, court-admissible reports that strengthen cases.

For agencies like the PNP and NBI, AIRA Track means faster investigations, better evidence, and higher case clearance rates.

What is ARVAS?

ARVAS (Anomaly Recognition Video Analytics System) is the proactive counterpart to AIRA Track. While AIRA helps solve cases faster, ARVAS helps prevent incidents before they escalate.

How ARVAS Works

ARVAS uses AI-powered anomaly detection to monitor video feeds in real time. Instead of waiting for operators to notice something unusual, ARVAS automatically identifies anomalies such as:

  • Unattended baggage in public areas

  • Loitering near sensitive facilities

  • Unauthorized access to restricted zones

  • Unusual crowd movements or congestion

  • Suspicious or erratic behavior

When anomalies are detected, ARVAS immediately alerts security personnel, ensuring rapid response and improved situational awareness.

Why AIRA Track + ARVAS Are Game-Changers for Public Safety

When combined, AIRA Track and ARVAS offer a complete AI-powered security ecosystem for agencies like the PNP, NBI, and local government units (LGUs):

  • Proactive Prevention (ARVAS): Detects threats in real time, reducing crimes before they happen.

  • Faster Investigations (AIRA Track): Speeds up post-incident analysis, improving case resolution rates.

  • Optimized Manpower: Frees investigators and officers from hours of manual video review.

  • Data-Driven Decisions: AI insights help agencies allocate resources better and strengthen public safety strategies.

Simply put, ARVAS is the watchful guardian, while AIRA Track is the rapid investigator. Together, they allow agencies to act faster, smarter, and more effectively.

Use Cases for Philippine Law Enforcement

  • PNP: Crowd monitoring during rallies, faster suspect identification in urban areas, and real-time anomaly detection in high-crime zones.

  • NBI: Streamlined investigation workflows for cybercrime, financial fraud, or organized crime cases involving multiple locations.

  • LGUs: Smarter surveillance in transport hubs, government buildings, and public spaces.

  • Critical Infrastructure: Airports, seaports, and power facilities gain real-time anomaly alerts for safety and security.

Why Now? The Urgency of AI in Public Safety

With rising crime complexity, cyber threats, and urban security challenges, agencies must evolve. Traditional CCTV is reactive — it shows what happened. AI-powered systems like AIRA and ARVAS show what’s happening right now and who is responsible.

For the PNP, NBI, and other agencies, adopting AI means:

  • Faster case resolution

  • More efficient manpower use

  • Improved citizen safety

  • Greater public trust

Final Thoughts

The future of public safety in the Philippines lies in AI-powered security solutions. AIRA Track reduces investigation times dramatically, while ARVAS autonomously detects anomalies in real time.

For agencies like the PNP and NBI, these systems mean moving from reactive to proactive policing and investigation — ensuring safer streets, faster justice, and smarter public safety strategies.

AI is no longer optional. With AIRA and ARVAS, it’s the next step toward a safer Philippines.
