Episode 36 dives into the rapidly evolving world of Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR) and smart city technology.
Jim Harris sits down with Malik Ekin from Ekin Smart City Solutions to discuss how modern law enforcement agencies are using connected technology to improve public safety, strengthen investigations, and make smarter operational decisions.
But this conversation goes far beyond the technology itself. We explore the real issues agencies need to be thinking about: privacy, policy, ethics, data management, transparency, public trust, and the responsibility that comes with powerful surveillance tools.
As ALPR systems and smart city infrastructure continue to expand, the question is no longer whether this technology will be used — it is how agencies can use it effectively, legally, ethically, and responsibly. Whether you are a police executive, supervisor, investigator, patrol officer, municipal leader, or simply interested in the future of public safety technology, this is a conversation you do not want to miss.
