Systems and methods for identifying objects of interest in video streams associated with an incident. One system includes an electronic processor that receives a search attribute for an object associated with the incident and receives, from a primary video analytics system having a first video coverage capability associated with the incident, a video analytics policy for the first capability. The processor identifies a conflict between the attribute and the policy, and, in response, determines a plurality of secondary video analytics systems, each having a secondary video coverage capability. The processor, for each of the plurality of secondary systems: receives a secondary video analytics policy and determines whether a secondary conflict exists between the attribute and the policy, and, in response to determining that a conflict does not exist, transmits, to the secondary video analytics system, a request to apply the search attribute to a video stream of the secondary capability.
