Law Enforcement Success in Action: How the Philadelphia Police Balance Technology and Protection

How do we take advantage of the benefits of technology in law enforcement without sacrificing important civil liberties? New innovations have dramatically enhanced the ability of law enforcement to reduce and address threats and protect citizens.

The Philadelphia Police Department is addressing these seemingly competing forces, using technology to keep citizens safe and doing so in a way that safeguards civil liberties.

As we gather in Philadelphia for ImagineNation 2019, come to this session to learn how our host city is leading the way in thinking through these important social and technological issues.
