Will your next encounter with a police officer in New York City be captured by an official department-issue Google Glass headset? It’s a possibility: The NYPD has a couple units and is giving them a thorough evaluation.
The news was first reported at VentureBeat earlier this week. Confirming the reports, NYPD Deputy Commissioner Stephen Davis explained in a statement that the department has been checking out Google’s wearable computer for a couple months now:
“In December of 2013 the Department obtained two pairs of Google Glass and has been evaluating these devices in an attempt to determine any possible useful applications. The devices have not been deployed in any actual field or patrol operations, but rather are being assessed as to how they may be appropriately utilized or incorporated into any existing technology-based functions.”
