执法范式的转变:从强制到调查
传统的执法观念往往伴随着对变革的抵触。正如警界流传的俗语,警察讨厌两件事:事情发生变化,以及事情保持不变。然而,现实是执法领域正在经历深度的结构性调整。现场警员的技能组合必须向更具调查性(Investigative)、更具细微差别(Nuanced)的方向转变。这种转变并非简单的战术更换,而是执法思维和操作框架的全面重构。无人机等技术的普及,使得这种转变不仅必要,而且具有某种必然性,为执法部门提供了直升机难以企及的持续监控和态势感知能力。

There's two things cops hate. For things to change and for things to stay the same.
Most of the cops in the field are going to have to change the way their skill set is shaped because it's going to be a little bit more investigative. It's going to be a little bit more nuanced. It's not going to look the same anymore.
Are people just going to start see drones flying around? Is that where we are? You hear a gunshot go off and the drone finds a shooter getting into a car and driving off and then pursuing the vehicle. It's kind of almost hard to see that it isn't inevitable. We can't do that with a helicopter today unless you just kept five helicopters up 24/7 and that's just not sustainable.
无人机与传感器网络的协同作战
无人机(Drones: 被视为“飞行机器人”,正迅速扫入各行各业的自动化技术)在公共安全中的应用已不仅限于传统的侦察,而是成为执法“传感器网络”的核心节点。这包括车牌识别摄像头、枪声检测系统等多种技术的有机融合。通过这种数据闭环,执法部门能够快速识别如安珀警报(Amber Alert: 儿童绑架警报)车辆并实施实时追踪,即便在高速公路上也能利用技术手段实现精确拦截。这种持续的态势感知能力,在突发事件处理中展现了极高的效能,例如通过实时视频反馈,有效澄清现场误报(如将清洁工误认为持枪嫌疑人),从而将紧张局势快速降级(Deescalate)。

Drones are they're they're flying robots. And as we see AI, robotics sweep every industry, we like all these industries are looking for ways to either automate things, make things more efficient, make things more effective. Drones are a similar piece of that. And in public safety, the short answer is we are going to see more drones. We're going to see also potentially more hostile drones that we have to be prepared for.
You're going to see, you know, more police and fire department drones are, you know, responding to fire calls across the country. And Flock Safety, you know, we it's not just about drones for us. Like we have multitudes of sensors in the community. We have license plate reading cameras. We have, you know, gunshot detection capabilities. All of this is coming together. All this data where you know you're able to determine oh that's an Amber Alert vehicle and the drone takes off and chases the Amber Alert vehicle or you hear a gunshot you know go off and the drone finds a you know a shooter getting into a car and driving off and then pursuing the vehicle even on the highways you know with DPS. That's something that it's kind of almost hard to see that it isn't inevitable. This is the only way to actually achieve that level of safety.
技术采纳的“炒作周期”与人员身心健康
执法部门对新技术的采纳通常经历一个“炒作周期”:从最初的强烈抵制(如曾针对执法记录仪和电击枪的反抗),到意识到其在保护警员、提供公正“游戏带”(Game Tape: 即现场录像,用于训练和评估)方面的巨大价值,最后实现全面部署。除了提升战术效能,技术也被用于关怀警员的身心健康。例如,利用行为分析技术(Analytics: 运行在执法记录仪后端的行为与交互分析)来监测警员与公众互动的情绪,以此作为预防职业倦怠的参考。针对高年资警员,部门正引入定期健康检查与休假制度,旨在优化其现场表现,确保警员在工作中保持长期的职业满意度。

I remember the same discussion happened with Taser. So we see this over and over again with technology that we sort of have to go through a hype cycle of reaction. But it's great to see those things being deployed.
So, there's a couple of different things that we're doing sort of like an ecosystem or platform within the agency that we've done. One of the piece of it is is being able to make sure that we're giving the officers what they need to do to be successful, but it's also about their own mental health and well-being. We utilize brain scan sort of start off the day to figure out how are you doing, you know temperature check. Then they go out and do their shift behind the body worn camera. We have analytics running behind the body worn camera just to see for the behavior and interaction. Part of that was looking at you can do a scorecard for how the trooper is interacting with the public but it also gets a little bit of information on how the public is interacting with that trooper to see if they're calmed or not and it can flag the situation as well for the supervisor. It helps with them being able to have that feeling of I have a little bit of a layer of protection because this is going to flag for the burnout as well.
全球视野下的情报融合与创业建议
随着全球化,即便在地方层面,我们也必须建立“全球事件即本地影响”的认知。执法部门正通过融合中心(Fusion Centers: 如亚利桑那反恐信息中心ACTIC,负责协作和信息共享)强化跨区域甚至国际间的情报合作。通过DISTILL(蒸馏)海量数据,将未分类情报转化为可执行的趋势分析,并辅助以 AI 技术,实现对犯罪趋势的预防性打击。对于希望投身该领域的创业者,建议是:不要被警界的封闭感所吓倒。若要带来变革,必须深入现场,通过随警巡逻(Ride alongs)或担任预备警员(Reserve cop)来理解警员的日常体验。只有掌握了他们的“语言”,理解他们经历过的痛点,才能构建出真正拯救生命的技术解决方案。

One of the things that we're leaning into as well is is that we have the Arizona counterterrorism information center, the ACTIC. So with fusion centers, the fusion centers around the US are collaborating and working together in tandem to make sure that they're sharing information. One of the things in Arizona that I'm doing is I'm leaning heavily into making sure that we're having sort of an international presence as well. Because the world is getting a lot smaller, we all know that crime is happening everywhere, being able to condense that down and distill it to where we can have good information sharing that's unclassified to just be able to share with one another on trends and being able to backstop that with some of the technology and AI helps us with being able to actually stop a lot of the trends before they start.
My advice for them is like look, it comes off as very intimidating. I'm sure the colonel's heard this saying, but there's two things cops hate for things to change and for things to stay the same. And so it feels like a very narrow thread that you have to hit. But the reality is that if you can picture something that feels like an inevitability, recognize that that change will come no matter what. Don't be intimidated by it just because they're cops. And then if you do do it, I would say spend a lot of time with the cops, too. Spend time, do some ride alongs. Really get an understanding of it. Be a reserve cop, you know, if you want to really get into it and that'll really help you not only speak the language, but know what to build for them.
