Harnessing Technology: Michael H. Robertson's Approach to Community-Driven Crime Reporting
“The community is vital instrumental in helping us solve crimes and, in many instances, preventing crimes. If you will providing us information, whether it's about the heroin or opioid epidemic, to things such as most recently in our county we experienced a homicide.”
Imagine having a tool that lets you report crimes without the fear of retaliation. In this engaging episode of the Cover2 Resources podcast, host Greg McNeil sits down with Michael H. Robertson, a prosecutor from Somerset County, New Jersey. Robertson and his team have repurposed an anti-bullying app called STOPit Solutions to allow community members to anonymously report crimes, including drug-related incidents.
This innovative use of technology aims to empower residents to speak up, creating a safer and more proactive community. Robertson discusses the challenges and successes of implementing this app and highlights the critical role of community involvement in tackling the opioid crisis. His insights offer a fresh perspective on how technology and community collaboration can drive meaningful change in law enforcement. If you're interested in how simple tech solutions can make a big impact, this episode is a must-listen.
