The Alpharetta Department of Public Safety has partnered with a tech company on a first-of-its-kind pilot to replace police officers’ business cards with fully-featured smart cards to encourage transparency and improve communication between police officers and the public.
The cards enable a citizen to scan a QR code on the card to access a police officer’s badge information, download a vCard with the officer’s contact information and a case number, and even a survey the citizen can complete to provide feedback on their interaction with the officer. Citizens who have been the victim of a crime can also more easily share information with police officers assigned to their case. The cards are also near-field communication (NFC) enabled so a citizen can access all of the features by simply tapping the card with their smartphone.
