• The NYPD utilizes technologies such as widespread camera systems, social media monitoring, facial recognition, and Automated License Plate Recognition.
• Key Kenyan officials, including Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen, visited New York to learn these best practices.
• The visit focused on how the NYPD uses real-time data and intelligence via a Real-Time Crime Center for effective deployment and response.
