Mr Bloomberg is now vigorously supporting and promoting the use of the "Domain name Alert" system to fight crime, and said "I hope Microsoft can sell more" domain name alert system, because 30% of the proceeds will be owned by New York.

In contrast to the prosperity of the US financial and economic center, the crime rate in New York City has been high. Over the years, the country's largest city still faces the threat of terrorism. Now, the situation is expected to be improved. New York police teamed up with Microsoft to create a set of anti-terrorism weapons, 24-hour uninterrupted work of the "Domain name Alert" system using cutting-edge technology to help the police, to prevent and combat crime added a solid protective net

Tens of millions of dollars to rebel fear weapon

August 8, New York Police and Microsoft jointly issued a set called "Domain Alert" system. With 3,000 cameras and 2,600 radiation detectors installed in the five metropolitan areas, the system can effectively improve information collection and data analysis capabilities, and will become a major weapon in New York to guard against potential terrorist activities.

3,000 cameras will be installed in New York's Jinrongjie and midtown Manhattan and strategic transport hubs such as bridges and tunnels. Police in New York say it is a "full vision system" that can work uninterrupted 24 hours a day.

The main functions of the system include: Identify the radiation alarm caused by, is there a real radiation hazard, or is it caused by weapons, X-rays, industrial materials or harmless medical isotopes, tracking the location of the suspect's vehicle and providing a vehicle for the last few days, weeks, or months of activity; Instantly provide the suspect's past arrest record "911" alarm phone contents.

The "Domain Alert" System terminal is located in a command and control center building in the New York police station located in the Manhattan district. The police are responsible for the operation and management of the system, but many "financial giants" are involved.

For example, the command and control center of the domain name Alert system also provides exclusive seating for the Federal Reserve, New York bank, Goldman Sachs, Pfizer and Citigroup. This shows that the New York police in the prevention of terrorist attacks, to ensure the safety of financial institutions is the primary responsibility.

The video data collected by the "domain Alert" system will be destroyed after 30 days of preservation, and the police may choose to file the reservation separately. Meta data and license plate information will be retained for 5 years, while some ambiguous "environmental data" will be kept indefinitely.

The development of science and technology has made a great change in criminal behavior all over the world. On the one hand, criminals began to use High-tech crime, and even a lot of terrorists began to use High-tech, on the other hand, under the modern technology monitoring and tracking equipment, the sophisticated criminal practices may also be exposed to the police vision, no hidden. This is the power of technology to fight evil. The use of cutting-edge technology to counter terrorism will be a promising event in the context of ongoing terrorist activities around the world.

The "terror" attacks have branded New York City with a deep scar, and New York police believe the launch of the sophisticated technology system will create a huge deterrent to potential terrorist crimes.

Preventing and combating urban crime

New York is the world's largest economic center, but also one of the most attractive, vibrant and personalized city, with a typical immigrant city characteristics. It is one of the most crime-rate cities in the United States, and residents lack security. For a long time, the Brooklyn area in which "events" took place was a daunting one, and many people were frightened when they passed through the area. New York taxi drivers who often drive to crime-prone areas are also allotted flak jackets this year.

2002, the founder of Bloomberg Consulting company, billionaire Bloomberg the 108th mayor of New York. The crime rate fell in New York under Mr Bloomberg's rule, with 2010 homicides down to 866 and rape down to 2771. There is public opinion that the crime rate in New York has returned to its 1965-year level.

But New York's crime rate is rising, with the number of cases rising 4.22% from a year earlier, according to recent police figures. New York still has a long way to play in preventing and combating urban crime.

New York police said the "Domain name Alert" system in the prevention of terrorist attacks, the problem of urban crime has also benefited greatly.

"This is a transformative tool, because it is a system developed by police officers for their own law enforcement work." "New York Police Chief Kelly said," the system can quickly provide details of criminal records, alarm phone content, license plate information and video information, so as to help us to link up the case points. ”

Globally, only British and American Baltimore have installed similar High-tech crime prevention systems, but New York's "Domain Alert" system is arguably the largest. Police believe that the system can make the rise of urban crime has been a certain deterrent.

The law enforcement system contains unlimited business opportunities

The "domain Alert" system, created by New York Police and Microsoft, cost 3000 to 40 million dollars.

This is a set of science and technology system to strengthen law enforcement, but it also contains huge business opportunities.

The Merchant-born Bloomberg has an eye for the security of the New York City, not just the "domain Alert" system, but also the commercial benefits to the general public.

According to the agreement between the New York government and Microsoft, the two sides will promote the sale of the system to other cities in the United States, and New York will receive 30% of its sales revenue.

"People do not like high taxes, so we have to diversify our finances to increase revenue." "I want Microsoft to sell more" domain Alert "systems because 30% of the proceeds will be owned by New York. ”

Worries outside of "security"

New York's efforts to tighten law and order with high technology have won plaudits, but many people and groups have expressed concern that privacy may be violated.

"The new system installed by the police has no legal problems, but the operating system is ultimately a police insider and there is no way to monitor it outside," said the New York Civil Liberties Union. ”

Fox Television reported that a number of local Muslim groups in the case of human rights may be violated to the court to sue for the ban on the use of sophisticated crime surveillance system.

New York police have set up a "safe house" in NJ, according to a July telephone call. "Safe house" is located in a university town, the main responsibility is to monitor the University of American Muslim students. The landlord of the House also feared that the house would be used by police to detain terrorists.
