Justice for all The field of justice tech—technology underpinning the criminal justice system—is gaining traction with investors. VCs are supporting companies dedicated to unjamming the legal system and bringing transparency to the work of police and prosecutors.
In the U.S. alone, over 1.2M people sit in prison and prosecutors take on nearly 1.5M new criminal cases each year. Founders hope to usher in a human-centered approach so that all of those defendants get fair treatment and access to resources.
Companies are developing tech to help inmates access services from jail and once they're released. They're providing virtual healthcare, access to legal advice, and resources to help them reintegrate after release. Apps help inmates stay in touch with loved ones, too. *Sponsored* Motorola Solutions is a leading provider in Video Security & Access Control (VS&A), and they're hiring developers to work on some exciting projects in this space. Check out their jobs.
How AI plays a role Companies are also hard at work developing tech to help police and prosecutors catch and punish criminals. Though, it's not without complexity.
Police are using drones, body cameras and advanced communication devices in their daily work. Universities offer classes in criminal justice technology to help future police officers, attorneys, and others learn these modern police tools and how to pair AI with human reviews to mitigate bias.
Founders are developing new ways to sense gunshots to speed up response times; building online reporting platforms to help agencies process millions of records; and inventing new restraints.
Video security is everywhere, too. Even in an increasingly remote environment, cloud-based IoT software is making it possible for security staff to integrate systems, such as access control, with live video and receive alerts and updates directly on their phone from any location, on-site or remotely. *Sponsored* Companies like Motorola Solutions offer technologies that work together to help deliver a safer world, like AI-powered video analytics.
