LOCAL TECH CONTROL OF KCPD STARTS!!!

Kansas City, Mo., Merges Police and City IT Efforts

City IT and police IT in Kansas City, Mo., are merging. As with any similar move, the arguments in favor are straightforward: save money by eliminating duplicative services and roles.

  1. The tail wagging the dog. Why would the "law enforcement agency" need to be convinced? Best guess the staffing is at least 2X the required staff.

  2. The blind leading the blind.
    Within a year there will be all sorts of "discoveries" as to why this isn't working and at least a few million more tax dollars are needed.
    The repeated outcomes of incompetence and lack of oversight are easy to predict.

  3. Giving city employees access to the police data base is a bad idea. Leaks are gonna happen.

  4. Well, @9:22, they sure as hell aren't going to give the Police access to City Employee databases, there isn't enough jail space to handle all the arrests that would be made in the first week!

  5. Huge mistake. The two systems are as different as night and day. It will only be a matter of time before city employees are releasing ultra-sensitive information to their buddies
