What is Microsoft, NYPD’s policing software?

Dear Charls,

Microsoft is releasing the Domain Awareness System, a software kit, designed with the NYPD, for law enforcement agencies.

it uses a detailed database to give instant tracking when things take a turn for the worse. It's also taking some cues from the city's CompStat, using geographical patterns to help effectively deploy members of the 5-0 in areas statistically likely to suffer more crime.

What is Microsoft, NYPD’s policing software?

It is the Domain Awareness System, a software kit, designed with the NYPD, for law enforcement agencies. Pulling together data from CCTV Cameras, radiation detectors and license-plate readers, it uses a detailed database to give instant tracking when things take a turn for the worse. When alarmed by radiation sensors in the field, the system will quickly reveal whether the radiation is nature, medicine or crime-related. Additionally, DAS will let the police peek into the past at any of the 3,000 locations strapped with cameras.  Note that the cameras are currently mostly in lower Manhattan, but the NYPD has already commenced expanding the network.
