Police technology that I saw during “Cop Con”
There is a particular episode of Brokelin 99 on the delusional state police officers conference, which is an annual conference that brings police officers-including the show squad-on presentations, professional development and parties.
“Cop-Con” is a trip: Although their leader urges them to be in their best behavior, the team members spend their time in the conference plan at a land party with their colleagues in other agencies. There is a size, of course: a laptop was stolen, then ruined; Police robot is paid from a balcony. Someone throws a pillow position.
Surprisingly, the exotic was not the most amazing part of the episode for me, but rather the exhibition hall of admiration full of sellers who show the new police tools. The team plays with some of these tools, such as police robots equipped with cameras, Electroshock weapons, and devices that generate painful sounds only those under the age of 35 who can hear them.
The fictional exhibition hall at the exhibition bears an amazing similarity with the International Conference of the International Police heads (IACP), in San Diego last month. It is so similar that when I watched the episode recently, I did it like this, on the edge of my seat:
Unlike the conference in Brooklyn 99, which was regional, the ICP conference was a global trader: about 16,000 attendees mobilized the San Diego Conference Center, including delegations from countries including Indonesia, Ireland, Dominican Republic, UK, Brazel, Ivory Coast, Kazakhstan, Haiti, Nigeria, Nigeria, Pahamas, Saibaya, Jamaia, Jiaka, Jiakama, Jiakat, Jiakama, Jacax, Jiaka, Jacax, Jiaka, Juma, Jacax, Jacax, Jacax, Jacax, Kyaka, Jacax, Jacax, and Jacax.
After walking thousands of steps around the floor of the exhibition for several days, where nearly 700 sellers appeared and displayed the most recent of them, I saw and learned a little about hundreds of new products, including sound analysis algorithms that claim to discover the risk of fraud on the basis of speech packages or bottles of virtual fields.
It took me almost the entire conference to make it from one side from the floor of the exhibition to the other.
Most of the emerging public safety technology that I saw is in three large buckets:
- Mechanical tools such as drones and police robots This can enter distances that may be difficult or unsafe to send an officer. The drone that I saw armed can come with a tool that allowed it to break the window.
- Emerging and improved monitoring techniques Like automatic licensing boards readers, which can take pictures of cars and other vehicles that police officers can use to target investigators. In some cities, I learned that this type of technology generates one million pictures or more per day.
- Artificial intelligence and algorithm products It was, as expected, among the tools I saw more than others. In addition to the sound analysis tools that you described above, companies have announced the tools that collect and analyze data (including social media, prison data systems, video summaries, court records, and social media) to generate quick visions.
To give our readers a more powerful look at the conference and police technology trends, I also asked experts who attended or presented workshops at the IACP conference to exchange their ideas on emerging tools – about technology that was remarkably absent at the conference. Read that here.
I want to learn more about what you are interested in in the field of public safety technology. What great technology that police officers use in your hometown you want to be an investigation correspondent? Have you watched the “Cop Con” episode of Brooklyn 99?
