Supporting a Safer Community in Charlotte

/analyses/2020/12/supporting-a-safer-community-in-charlotte

In 2019, the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS Office), provided CNA with funding to develop case studies on the organizational impacts of HSGs in an effort to produce a field guide documenting promising practices. CNA will conduct case studies of two agencies already benefiting from HSGs: Richmond, Virginia, and Charlotte-Mecklenburg, North Carolina. Each case study report will explain how the HSG program started as well as examining program operations and achievements and documenting lessons learned. These reports from three exemplary programs will form the basis for Engaging Victims of Crime with Empathy and Compassion: A Field Guide for Establishing Homicide Support Groups, a field guide to support law enforcement agencies in developing a strategic approach to implementing a successful HSG program in their communities. Engaging Victims of Crime with Empathy and Compassion: A Field Guide for Establishing Homicide Support Groups will likely be available for release in the spring or summer of 2021.

Common Operational Picture Technology in Law Enforcement Three Case Studies

/analyses/2019/12/common-operational-picture-technology-in-law-enforcement-three-case-studies

CNA performed case studies of common operational picture(COP) technology use in three law enforcement agencies. Our goal was to address thepaucity of research inthis fieldby providing practitioners and researchers with examples of how these law enforcement agencies have implemented and use these technologies. To do so, we conducted on-site qualitative data collection at the three sites, which revealed common themes among the sites regarding stakeholders, COP technology implementation, and theuse of certain COP technology features. This report lays the groundwork for future work by law enforcementagenciesand researchers in exploring COP technology use andimplementation in law enforcement settings. Researchers and practitioners must further study the efficacy of COP technology in achieving law enforcement goals, such as improving community response, reducing injuries, and preventing or reducing violent crime. This report is not intended to rank or evaluate the products listed. We did not test or evaluate the products. The report’s sole purpose is to provide the law enforcement community with information about how three agencies implemented and use COP technology.

, CNA conducted interviews across three locations: the Baton Rouge Police Department, Camden County Police Department, and Chicago Police Department. Although each police department incorporates COP

In COVID-related news, Nature publishes a review of COVID-19 AI tools, emphasizing that most tools are still in development and largely unproven. Inserm selects Expert System's AI support for its COVID-19 research and its group of over 10,000 researchers. Researchers provide in open-source a large annotated dataset of CT and X-ray images from COVID-19 patients, called the BIMCV COVID-19+. In regular AI news, Microsoft announces that it will not sell its facial recognition technology to police departments in the US until a national law is in place to help govern its use. On that note, a new federal bill in development, the Justice in Policing Act, contains policy guidelines on the use and limitations of facial recognition technology for police. OpenAI releases a commercial product API for accessing its AI models, to include the 175B parameter GPT-3, although other researchers are expressing concern over the lack of accountability on bias. Facebook announces the winner of its Deepfake Challenge, where the winning model achieved at 65% accuracy on a set of 10,000 previously unseen clips. And Boston Dynamics makes its robot dog, Spot, available for sale at $74,500 plus tax. In research, a team at Duke University introduces PULSE, which sharpens blurry images, in essence by exploring the space of plausible high-res images that could result in the blurry image. The report of the week comes from Perry World House, who published the results of a Policy Roundtable on AI hosted last fall. The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute and the International Committee of the Red Cross offer their take on Limits on Autonomy in Weapon Systems, by identifying the practical elements of human control. The review of the week from University of Waterloo provides an overview of text detection and recognition in the wild. MacroPolo provides a snapshot of Global AI Talent, using participants from the 2019 NeurIPS. Spring-Verlag provides yet another free text, from Eiben and Smith, on an Introduction to Evolutionary Computing. And NavyCon 2020 provides brief snapshots on "navies, science fiction, and great power competition" from a host of participants.

On October 20, 1981, an infamous crime shook the New York suburb of Nanuet. The botched robbery of an armored Brink's trunk resulted in the death of two police officers and a Brink's security guard. When the police first apprehended the robbers, they simply believed them to be a group of well-armed thieves. In fact, they were members of America’s first female terrorist group, the May 19th Communist Organization, the subject of Bill Rosenau’s new book, "Tonight We Bomb the U.S. Capitol."
