Las Vegas, nev. (Fox5) – LVMPD wants to be the most technologically advanced police forces in the country.
The Kevin McMahill sheriff sat for an individual with Kim Passoth of Fox5 to highlight part of the new technology in the department, how that makes the police advance and what will follow.
The Sheriff McMahill supports thanks to technological agents and workers, crimes are resolved today who would not only have a few years.
“Metro is … uses all its resources to resolve cases that are difficult to resolve,” asked Passoth.
“You see, I’m a little excited about it, right?” Replied McMahill.
“There are a lot to which I attribute it, but the first thing I want to make sure to tell you is that it comes from a good work of police, a good work of detective, exceptional leaders, implacable follow-up, a wait on my part of what we are going to go there … and they deliver every time,” added McMahill.
An example of officers exceeding expectations: the fire bomb of a Tesla service center earlier this year.
“We had nothing to do and frankly, I told myself that it could be one of these cases that we could not resolve,” said McMahill. Small blurred images helped break the case.
“We had a lighthouse at a distance, then a rear fire at a distance … We determined the brand and the model that had crossed this intersection along the way where it was, that the LPR captured three times,” said McMahill.
The LPR (license plate reader) helped a detective determined to find this car that the car was going to the attack and the arrest of its owner.
“Drones, license plaque readers, shots detection … There are technologies that change the game that go there and everything is designed to ensure people’s safety,” said McMahill. Shotspoters are stationed throughout the community to listen to gunshots and soon technology will be twinned with drones.
“You can go out in the neighborhood, take out a gun, shoot someone, shoot it in the air, anyway, that the drone will get the GPS coordinated where you are. It will be launched. This will go straight before a call to 911 can even get an answer,” reported McMahill.
Sometimes the biggest breaks come from the smallest tracks. Metro works with Vegas Justice League and Othram Labs using DNA technology that is always advanced to resolve cold cases of decades like that of Stéphanie Isaacson, 14, who was murdered in 1989. His case was resolved using the smallest DNA sample in the world, the equivalent of only 15 human cells. Metro also started to deploy a fleet of 10 Cybertrucks Tesla next month and a first Cybertruck Swat of the nation in the coming months.
Another high -tech Metro tool has recently been deployed: The Robo Dog. It can be used in conflict situations by keeping real K9 of the police in danger.
