Real-time crime-center software is a sometimes overlooked but powerful tool allowing police to aggregate immense amounts of data, significantly expanding their surveillance reach.

Regent's prototype combines Cold War aerodynamics with America's Cup hydrofoils at a new North Kingstown factory expected to create nearly 400 new jobs
