The Necessity for Mobility and Connectivity in Police Technology

摘要

Mobility and connectivity need to be at the heart of city security. With 66% of the world's population projected to live in a city by 2050, mobile, efficient and connected law enforcement has never been more important. With the number of police applicants down more than 90 percent in some cities, police resources are stretched thin under swelling populations, making it even more difficult to keep residents safe. A greater emphasis needs to be placed on developing technology that is both mobile and connected in order to enable law enforcement agencies to easily share vital information and respond quickly to any threat facing the city. Independent, disconnected security solutions no longer provide value. A security camera that is unable to analyze the footage it collects or alert officers when something of importance is recorded only adds more work to law enforcements officials as they are forced to sift through hours of video footage. Traditional security solutions also make it difficult to analyze footage gathered from different areas of a city.
