OEMC

It looks like Chicago is soon going to have the most advanced city-wide intelligent video surveillance system (i.e. intelligent security system) in the United States. The Associated Press is reporting that the City of Chicago Office of Emergency Management and Communications (OEMC) is teaming up with IBM and Genetec on the project, which is part of Chicago's Operation Virtual Shield (OVS). OVS is reportedly one of the world's largest video security deployments.
