Workshop: Anonymous Activity Reporting
For some who witness a crime, the desire to get more involved is hampered by the simple warning to all made by criminals: “Don’t snitch.” Technology is changing this, and services have become available that allow citizens to use anonymous, real-time text messaging to alert security personnel and law enforcement about situations witnessed that need to be investigated. This discussion will center around these services and technologies, plus the pros and cons of each. (Tuesday, March 30, 2-3 p.m., K-12, university & hospital.)
