Sponsored Seminar 10.1: Crowdsourcing Crime Fighting; Sponsored By: RING

Sunday 4:30 PM - 5:30 PM

Room: 210

One of the Peelian Priciples of Policing states, "The police are the public and the public are the police." How does law enforcement turn a largely disengaged population into an engaged one, in this digital age, able to not only share information more freely but increasing the desire. The public want to participate in the public safety process but too often are left lacking the tools, seeing the results of their actions or feeling their privacy is protected. This leads to lower engagement rates and more strain on law enforcement resources. Imagine a community armed with the right technology and tools to more effectively deter crime, to collaborate with law enforcement and protect their privacy. We're in the age of crowdsourcing and crowdsolving crime. Data shows a correlation of tech to results. Video and anonymous technologies are making this possible. See real examples of these processes in action, its impacts, learn what to expect and where the future is headed.
