問題詳情
An emergency call comes in about a possible bomb in lower Manhattan and an alert pops up oncomputer screens at the New York Police Department, instantly showing officers an interactive map ofthe neighborhood, footage from nearby security cameras, whether there are high radiation levels andwhether any other threats have been made against the city. In a click, police know exactly what they'regetting into.Such a hypothetical scenario may seem like something out of a futuristic crime drama, but thetechnology is real, developed in a partnership between America's largest police department andMicrosoft Corp., and the latest version has been quietly in use for about a year. The project could pay offin more ways than one: The NYPD could make tens of millions of dollars under an unprecedentedmarketing deal that allows Microsoft to sell the system to other law enforcement agencies and civiliancompanies around the world. The city will get a 30 percent cut.The Domain Awareness System, known as the dashboard, gives easy access to the policedepartment's voluminous arrest records, emergency calls, more than 3,000 security cameras citywide,license plate readers and portable radiation detectors -- data that raises privacy concerns for some civilliberties groups. But the dashboard system mines existing tools and doesn't create any new surveillance.Right now, it is used only in NYPD offices, mostly in the counterterrorism unit. Eventually, the systemcould supply crime-fighting information in real time to officers on laptops in their squad cars and onmobile devices while they walk the beat.
