When it comes to driver safety, young drivers have always presented law enforcement with unique challenges on the road. But given the new level of distractions in the world, and the appeal those distractions have for teens in particular, it may seem a given that the roads are even more dangerous today when it comes to novice drivers.
As technology continues to evolve, law enforcement agencies around the world are leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) to improve public safety, streamline operations, and enhance the well-being of officers. From training tools to health monitoring and AI-powered policing technology, AI is transforming the way police departments operate and interact with the communities they serve. In this post, we will highlight some of the key AI technologies that are revolutionizing law enforcement and public safety.
Speeding is one of the most persistent and dangerous traffic violations in U.S. communities.

Excessive speed reduces a driver’s reaction time, increases the severity of accidents, and also […]
Traffic data collection plays a valuable role in law enforcement, helping agencies make data-driven decisions that enhance public safety and operational efficiency.

Far from being the stuff of science fiction movies, algorithm-based predictive policing has aided law enforcement in deterring crime in communities across the country for the last few years. With varying degrees of success, police departments everywhere have been stepping up their efforts to protect and serve by using state-of-the-art technology that has the potential […]
Data collection is the pillar of any criminal investigation, yet many police departments nationwide are yet to incorporate newer technologies for this purpose. These departments still rely on the old Summary Reporting System (SRS), first established in the 1920s by the FBI—then the Bureau of Investigation— as part of the Uniform Crime Reporting Program (UCR).

There was a time when police departments handled all evidence management in basically the same way. It was a paper-based procedure that started at the crime scene, with an officer collecting a piece of evidence, tagging it, and placing the evidence in a bag. Then, they wrote information on the bag, such as a case […]
