There is no group, collective or organization solely focused on public safety technology public awareness, and policymaker education so that procuring governments and their governing bodies can make informed decisions, based upon facts, about the types of technology they need to adopt for their public safety agencies.

​

Such an organization can bring immense value in the promotion of truths, dispelling myths while bringing fact-based and narrative-free reason to policy-making and procurement considerations ultimately bringing value to communities and vendors alike.

​

At present, governments are setting policy regarding technology application for law enforcement.  “Unnamed activists”, “privacy advocates” and well funded organizations are advocating for restrictive policies such as outright bans on some technology applications which may be used by government.  Vendors are responding with their own government relations teams yet there is limited if negligible coordination.  

​

Bans being adopted or proposed in several US cities prohibiting the use of facial recognition technology, ALPR, public safety use of drone technology and predictive policing are affecting consideration by police agencies in determining the types of tools needed to serve communities.  These same communities should be empowered to debate, consider and adopt policies fitting their constituents’ values.  Being increasingly reliant on agenda based campaigns which perpetuate myths and elevate fears prevents government leaders and policymakers from basing policy and procurement decisions on what something is rather than having decisions being based on what something might be stands in the way of thoughtful and effective public policy which is based on fact, research, actual practice and proven policy.

​

The technology of the day is just a starting point.  Public safety agencies need the best technology available on the market and need to interact thoughtfully with vendors for the development of future technologies.  As this development continues, groups and organizations will continue campaigns elevating scrutiny with misinformation, myths, mystery and debunked research.
