The New Blue: Tools, Technology & Transparency in Modern Policing

Description: From Robocop to Minority Report, Law and Order to CSI, film and television paint vivid, and at times almost unbelievable, pictures of technology-driven policing now and in the future. But is reality that far from fiction? While we may not have robotic cops or “pre-cogs,” advancements in law enforcement and public safety technology are paving the way for more innovative tools and techniques to aid modern policing. In this session, learn about the creative ways law enforcement and first responders are harnessing technology to protect and serve Maryland’s citizens.
