have access to the crime data warehouse, but also acksdz to the 24 other criminal justice systems, such as mug shots, f.b.i. most wanted, d.m.v. and all that. essentially they are carrying around a district station in their hand. it was a very important step for us. i want to mention arc-tech's contribution. they can do a better job of mobile distribution. by the way, there are many people. i would like to recognize the whole team involved. the project director was leo solomon. he is here today, and he is going to work with the inspector who is responsible for training more than 1,300 officers on the system. [applause]

>> thank you. what we are going to show you this morning is a couple of screen shots of the crime data warehouse system which will allow you to see exactly what the officer is going to see either on the street or at their computers they are working on now. so here what you have is the search field which, as you can see here, we can search for anything. description, nicknames, tattoos, partial license plates, hair color and et cetera. this search tab basically functions just like a google type search that you would do at your home computer. when you put in the key word, it searches the entire internet. this searches exactly the same thing, but only our police database which has information to 1981. in this example here we typed

in giants hat. so if we type in giants hat and hit search, this is the result that we would get from searching the giants hat. on the first part of our screen basically it shows the text portion, which basically searches for any type of words containing giants hat in a police report. to view that incident, all we would do is click on the incident number, which would give us the actual police report. in the very bottom here where it says property text, these are all the incident reports that contain a giants cat in the property section. next. and here, lastly, is the report tab, which allows anybody in this system to view any type of crime statistics on a real-time basis. in the past we wouldn't have this capable. we would have the clerical

section, the report management section to hand us down the stats for the reports. now we can go in here and actually view them ourselves. our next speaker is going to be adam fingerman, c.e.o. c.e.o. and founder of arc-touch and zach gottlieb will be his capable assistant. >> how do you make it easier and faster for officers in the field to report incident information back to the crime data warehouse? to solve this, arc is going to work closely with the sfpd to design a mobile app that stream lines field reporting. we are going to use the latest technologies, surf as nuns, speech to text deck takeses. we are going to use full touch and swite gestures to minimize key board entry. and we are going to have sbe greated photo, video, image and

audio collection. all of this is going to be assembled in one place. so all of the relevant information about an incident is together and sent to the crime data warehouse in real time, allowing officers to spend much more time out on the streets instead of writing reports. arc-touch, being a france based business has many employees who live and work in san francisco, and we are absolutely thrilled to be part of this initiative. we would like to thank mayor lee for supporting technology companies in san francisco. we would like to thank ron and sf-city for bringing technology companies together so they can do great things for the city and its citizens. and most of all we would like to thank the chief for having the forward-thinking to start this program and make this field recording app, which we believe is going to be a great thing not just for the city, but set the standard for mobile app field reporting for the nation.

i would like to now invite scack -- zach gottlieb up here to walk you through some of our product designs. thank you. [applause] >> good morning. so i just want to say how excited we are to have the opportunity to work on a product like this that could have such a huge impact for the people of san francisco. imagine if you will the officer has this mobile device on their dashboard while they are driving. a call comes in. we know by their g.p.s. where in the vicinity they are, so we are able to direct to this particular officer and device a call. so it is a code 4-2-1, which is a stolen vehicle, we know it is at 251 bush, and my other

information that may be attached. to melissa in dark -- males in dark clothing. the officer receives it. this is where most of the collection of data curse. money of us are used to seeing this type map. the officer is represented by the blue circle in the middle. the crime location is here by the red dot. speaking with officers, we also found that they like to know about the location before they get there. using things such as street view already built into these devices, they can gather information before they ever arrive on the scene. in addition we have some information below. we still have the code 4-1-1. we also novak the time that has transpired since the officer took the call. so the officer proceeds to the location. now they get out, and they take

the tablet off their dashboard and two into data collection mode. so it brings up their data collection dashboard. having spoken to a number of officers in the field, we know they carry a number of different items. they carry cameras, audio devices, and pen and paper. we are trying to eliminate all of these. the amount of time it takes to compile all this information once they get back to the station is huge. so if we can leverage all the technology in one place to make it simple and efficient, that is a win. offense, instead of having to write on pad and paper, i can tap on voice, take an audio note, and if i want, i can have that transcribed in real time using speech to text technology. that is now added to the case file immediately.

we can also leverage things like g.p.s. offense, if we found the car several blocks away, the officer could mark that on their map, and that is also attached to the case file. the officer proceeds to the location. they are now able to take pictures that are instantaneously sinked -- singhed to that case file. we talked about g.p.s., we have talked about audio and photography. we are also going to lench the touch interface. in this whole example so far, the officer has not had to type one thing. for instance, a date picker. they can select it a very simple easy one, using one

finger. we know it is a stolen vehicle. let's add that vehicle to the case file. i could tap on the vehicle plate and use the key board that is already integrated into it. or i could take a picture of the lps plate using recognition technology. i -- license plate using recognition technology. it brings back all of the data on that vehicle. i didn't have to type in anything. now we have apprehended a suspect. we can type their driver's license in, run a picture of it, run a crime data warehouse search, and we bring back the suspect. not only do we have all the information about this suspect, but if i so choose, i can see their priors. coming back to my dashboard for

my case file, you can see i have assembled all this in real time. it is fast, efficient, it is accurate, and it allows me to do less paperwork and more police work. thank you. [applause] >> mike homer had a vision. i don't think even he saw that coming. but if you hang around people that are as smart as the people over here, and you have a mayor that has the vision to let them run, you end up with stuff like that, and we will have a safer san francisco. so we will take some questions right now and then anybody will be available for questions off to the side. [inaudible question] >> right. is the f.i. part susan spoke to, those are field interview card. in those cards they will have known associates.

you could pop somebody up, and search for known associates, and it will tell you everybody that was with that person. you could even type in something as simple aspects over six feet, suspects under 5'5" that are crime partners, and it will give you that, too. [inaudible question] >> have you ever seen anything like that before? >> no. >> this is unbelievable. the data warehouse as the director said, there is a lot of things that are close, but not as good as this. as far as this app that is coming attractions, there is nothing similar to that, that i am aware of, in the country or in the world. [inaudible question] >> it's a work in progress. i am not pressing them. they are a lot further along than we thought. we just started meeting on this , this calendar year. [inaudible question]

>> six months. and my experience with them is they are being conservative, and that is not very conservative. [inaudible question] >> that is the great thing. the cost to the city isoff set a lot by the public-private partnership. but having a web-based server versus a client server, it is probably 20 cents or 25 cents on the dollar. the beauty of this system is that susan and her team does all the engineering on it. we don't have to call for help or whatever. it is just a change in engineering or a software change.

and the good morning, everyone is. welcome to san francisco. -- >> good morning, everyone. welcome to san francisco. i wanted to express my appreciation at being here at autodesk. not only do you have a great company here, but pretty soon, one of those models out there will be something like a three- dimensional arena for basketball or something like that. that might happen very fast. i wanted to come here and start by thanking the u.s. high-speed

rail association for their good work, their collaborative work for so many years in building a forum and getting so many players together to develop coalitions and consortiums for building a high-speed rail system in america, and thank you very much, the association, for hosting this conference in san francisco. when our city's economy is going again, and most importantly, we are adding jobs, and we are ready. for those of you that are new to san francisco, you should know that we are building the very first high-speed rail project in the united states. our transbay transit center, which will be completed in 2017. tomorrow, we move forward improving the transit center's district plan. it is not just a multi modal transit center, but a

comprehensive plan for the transit center to become part of our new downtown. san francisco is no longer a city that is afraid of growth. we have had those debates in the past, and we have gone through them, but we have embraced smart growth in the right places. around our voter-mandated terminus of high-speed rail is the right place for development. we spent years planning the extension of the california -- caltrain an extension of california real, and many of you in this room have been part of that, and now, it is time not only to get it done, but to get it done right because we have a lot to do. growth, all over the country, but particularly for me, growth must have been and must be done and must be done in a balanced and equitable manner to achieve regional, environmental, economic goals.

great land use and transportation together. the transit district plan we have, for example, will add 11 acres of new open space to the center of our city, including a five-acre elevated part. 4000 units of housing. 1400 of those units affordable. in addition to acting as the grand central of our west. the how of bringing high-speed rail to california is as important as the why. to provide economic vitality to california and to our cities. i would like to again thank the association for organizing this event. i would like to thank governor brown and the california high speed rail authority for bringing forth a new business plan that really response to the earlier criticisms and sets us

on the right track. in closing, i would like to thank president obama, leader pelosi, secretaries boxer and feinstein, as well as leader lahood for the commitment to public transit, creating jobs, and investing in san francisco. again, thank you this morning for being here, and let's get it done. appreciate it.
