NCDPS
Speaking with the CIO of the NCDPS , Glenn Mack , we find out how the department has implemented technology and its outlook for future developments
US public safety concerns are inevitably increasing in line with a larger population , which pushes more demand on organisations like the North Carolina Department of Public Safety ( NCDPS ). Since 2013 , the number of individuals employed in law enforcement increased exponentially from roughly 626,942 to around 696,644 in 2020 — and figures are yet to be disclosed for 2021 .
However , the general trend witnessed by the North Carolina State Highway Patrol is a decrease — specifically during the period of 2015 to 2019 — of instances like speeding , driving impairment , seatbelt and child restraint violations . The residents of North Carolina will be pleased to know that almost 75,000 fewer speeding tickets are issued annually and the public are generally more aware of risks . But , the NCDPS hasn ’ t achieved this solely through campaigning and training . How has technology supported the organisation in recent years and what is next for the NCDPS ?
The NCDPS shows resilience throughout the pandemic Covering a broad range of public safety services , the NCDPS has spent the past 10 years working with its employees and alongside the general public to prioritise the safety of the state in the most effective way .
