work closely with the sfpd to design a mobile app that stream lines field reporting. we are going to use the latest technologies, surf as nuns, speech to text deck takeses. we are going to use full touch and swite gestures to minimize key board entry. and we are going to have sbe greated photo, video, image and audio collection. all of this is going to be assembled in one place. so all of the relevant information about an incident is together and sent to the crime data warehouse in real time, allowing officers to spend much more time out on the streets instead of writing reports. arc-touch, being a france based business has many employees who live and work in san francisco, and we are absolutely thrilled to be part of this initiative. we would like to thank mayor lee for supporting technology companies in san francisco. we would like to thank ron and sf-city for bringing technology companies together so they can do great things for the city and its citizens. and most of all w
francisco. that is a material change. like greg, i want to honor mike, mike s mom and her family who are here, who live just down the street, i think. so with that, sf-city is honored to be here, honored to be included, and i think we will help the city of san francisco continue to stay ahead of technology and utilize technology first and be a national showcase for technology in police work. [applause] our next speaker is caroline, director of global community engagement for hewlett packard. it is their general that has really gotten this program off the board in taking ron s phone calls. [applause] good morning. i am delighted to be here. i just want to thank the chief and the sfpd for this opportunity. your passion for making this commitment, innovating and updating the department will make our city safer and i want to thank you for that. i want to thank the mayor for creating the innovative capital . this is something we are very appreciative of. i also want to thank a
of the tech commont. we adopted five pillars where we are going to be involved in san francisco. the first pillar is jobs. the second pillar is transportation. the third pillar is philanthropy. the fourth pillar is policy, and the fifth pillar, which we are here to talk about today, is public safety. sf-city got involved last week with the future grads program, which is going to take kids off the street and give them internships during the summer. this is a program founded by greg sur and the sfpd. but we thought it would be very appropriate for sf-city to get involved in helping san francisco s police department leap row frog leapfrog technology and be a national showcase for the use of technology. why not do that right here in san francisco, which is the innovation capital of the world as stated by mayor ed lee at your inauguration. and we are going to make that happen. going back to 2003 when make homer visited greg sur here is he sfpd and would ridicule him for how back
officers are entering their reports directly into a data warehouse, when a crime happens in the tenderloin, it becomes visible in the mission, the bayview and everywhere else instantly the minute the report is finished. that is huge in terms of identifying crime trend, suspects, m.o. s, et cetera. secondly, the search capable. as the chief mentioned, you would think we would have already had this type of capable. not only do we have a google type search capable, most of them require you search based on a way the city is set up. you can search on hair color, but the person should have blonde hair, black hair, blonde hair or other. what if they have purple or red and black hair? this allows you to search on specific hair color, specific anything. the importance of this search capable became important before we even went live with the city. we were in beta test, and we gave it to our robbery investigations team as a test. one of the lieutenants in robbery i asked him to be her
and if we could ever be in a position to make that happen, we would do that. then we were blessed with a mayor who wanted to see that happen and an i.t. director that could make it happen. so going forward, this initiative, however it can help the san francisco police department be connected and then hopefully eventually grow it regionally, to make it simple, this is in fact the bat computer. we can punch a single piece of information into a google search system to tell us what we need to know, whether it is a car, a person, a description like that. we can find it out like that. you would think we would have been able to do this already, but that has not been the case. we just got e-mail department-wide last year. so we have moved tremendously just in the last 13 months, and we have left the note post-it days, and we are now into a google searchable web base data warehouse and now have a partnership with sf-stit, h.p., arch-touch and a mayor pushing the whole thing forward wi
