GeekWire Radio: How cops are moving to the cloud, and what it means for public safety

GeekWire Radio: How cops are moving to the cloud, and what it means for public safety
GEEKWIRE | AUGUST 23, 2014
The recent chaos and tragedy in Ferguson, Mo., have highlighted the importance of accountability and transparency in everyday interactions between police and the public. Can technology make a difference?
Specifically cloud-based service and wearable cameras used by police departments.

Anyone think moving police information into the cloud might be a problem? Why does confidential police information need to even be connected to the Internet? What happens if police information is hacked or changed? SWAT shows up at the modified address looking for a murder suspect. What could possibly go wrong? Is the really an increase in public safety?
DrT hopes police information is better protected than most commercial business data.
