2 00:00:02,713 --> 00:00:03,787
Mogil: The police department mission is to provide a safer community
and a better environment for people to live in
and to be able to flourish and do their day-to-day routine.
7 00:00:17,494 --> 00:00:20,863 Narrator: Police have to quickly react to dynamic situations.
In the future, even their gear will work to protect them from unexpected dangers.
Lightweight layers will provide protection from bullets and sharp objects,
while sensors will monitor their health status and location.
This will allow individual officers to monitor their own fitness
and allow command to see the status of all officers responding to an incident.
McDonagh: First responders having situational awareness improves their safety,
because again, it provides them additional information
for which to apply to that specific incident.
Narrator: Body-worn video and facial recognition
will make it possible to find known criminals or suspects
and augmented reality glasses will allow future officers
to stay engaged and aware of their surroundings,
while receiving notifications of potential threats.
22 00:01:11,294 --> 00:01:14,172 Officer: I've got eyes on our robbery suspect at Pleasant and Main.
I'm in pursuit.
Narrator: When a police officer gets a job,
he's not going to be able to think, hey,
I need to get an additional piece of gear.
Officer: Hey! Hold a second.
Narrator: What he has on him is what he has on him.
30 00:01:33,709 --> 00:01:36,299 Narrator: Tagging and tracking technology will make it easy to document
the details of the incident and prepopulate an arrest report.
33 00:01:43,077 --> 00:01:45,272 A suspect bracelet will monitor vitals
to alert nearby officers if the suspect is in distress.
Lee: The system's old and we're still doing pen and paper
and there's a move for the department to move to a more robust system
that's going to be more accurate
and be able to generate reports instead of us creating our own reports.
McDonagh: We've gone from very rudimentary capability, basically audio information,
to officers in the field having computers in their cars
and mobile computing devices that they can carry with them.
Radio Voice: We have multiple shots fired downtown at Dudley Street and Emerald.
Narrator: The moment an incident begins,
future commanding officers will be able to
see the location and status of all officers.
They'll be able to access public cameras to get a visual of the suspect,
then pull suspect background information to share with officers on scene.
Off Screen Voice: Where is this active shooter located?
Where are my fellow officers, so there's no friendly fire incidents?
All these details will help the officer respond for his safety
and for the safety of those around him.
Officer: We see him up ahead.
Approaching in vehicle now.
The suspect has fled.
We'll have the drone follow.
Narrator: Police officers of the future
will be able to pursue suspects in a safer way.
59 00:03:06,538 --> 00:03:10,797 Using drones, they'll be able to continuously monitor a suspect's location
while situating themselves in the best position to approach.
Officer: I'm looking at the live feed of him hiding.
Bottom of the back staircase, number 19.
Officer: I see the feed now.
I have Bateman and Owens, two blocks away.
Wait for them as backup before your approach.
67 00:03:34,236 --> 00:03:36,374 Officer: Police! Drop your weapon!
Down on the ground, face down!
Officer: Stay where you are!
Narrator: Officers will be able to collect evidence
with their personal communications devices,
making it easy to document the incident and build the report.
All of this technology will work as an integrated system
helping future officers stay safe and better serve their communities.
Lee: The technology there now is,
we're pretty sure it's available, we're almost positive it is.
It's just a matter of catching up.
McDonagh: The communities are getting more sophisticated
and demand better and better service.
So we have to find ways to make sure that we streamline,
continue to make them more efficient,
more effective and oftentimes with the same number of resources.
Mogil: For people to actually take note and make improvements for a police officer,
not only for their safety, not only for the public safety,
but also for their health,
I think is a great leap forward for the police department.
