Advanced Technology to Prevent Crime and Support Reentry

The North Carolina First Responder Emerging Technologies Program collaborates with the State’s first responder agencies to navigate the rapidly-changing technology landscape by helping to identify the problems to be addressed and leveraging relationships.

A new line of research envisions mobile devices tapping into artificial intelligence to make reentry more efficient and more likely to succeed for those reentering supervisors, their supervisors, and communities.

The technique used to pinpoint mineral deposits, hyperspectral imaging, could be used to find humans, both dead and alive. An NIJ-funded researcher realized that the technology could use drones with sensors to cover large areas and find human bodies.
