TiPS Episide 25 1117 - Facing the Facts: Facial Recognition Ethics in Public Safety
In this episode of TiPS: Today in Public Safety, Fletch dives deep into the digital mirror of modern surveillance — facial recognition. Once a science-fiction fantasy, it’s now a standard tool in airports, schools, and law enforcement agencies across the country. But as its capabilities grow, so do the ethical concerns.
He explores both sides of the lens — the promise of faster suspect identification and life-saving alerts, and the peril of misidentification, racial bias, and privacy erosion. Fletch breaks down the “Four P’s” of ethical use — Policy, Permission, Provenance, and Proportionality — and examines how these principles must evolve alongside Next Generation 911 systems.
This isn’t just about technology. It’s about trust.
How do we balance innovation with individual rights?
And how do we ensure that systems designed to protect us don’t become systems that watch us?
Join the discussion as Fletch challenges public safety professionals to face the facts — and to shape the ethical future of intelligent surveillance before it shapes us.
