NYPD Crime Prevention

Submitted by ub on

The New York City Police Department is developing a new way to seek people who are carrying firearms on the street. They plan to use radiation scanners, which could detect persons carrying guns, according to NYPD's Top Cop.

This cutting edge technology — which works with infrared imaging detects a natural energy, known as terahertz radiation, that emits from a person’s body, Kelly said during his State of the NYPD address.

Because the radiation waves cannot see through metal, a concealed gun could be detected from the image captured by the lens of the detector.

Submitted by ub on

NYC Councilman Jimmy Vacca reports that three bills passed and approved by the City Council Comm. on Transportation, which he chairs.

One bill prohibits the city from posting the green-yellowish stickers on your car when you get a ticket for violating alternate side parking regulations.

Another bill says the 30 day time period for paying a ticket only begins after a hearing determining your guilt is held, not from the day the ticket is issued should you claim your innocence.

Fall of 2012, New York City will open The Academy for Software Engineering, NYC’s first public high school that will actually train students to develop software.

This amazing project has been the dream of Mike Zamansky, a highly-regarded teacher at Stuyvesant public high school. It was jump started when Fred Wilson, a VC at Union Square Ventures agreed to get the tech community to help with knowledge, advice, and money.
