Surveillance systems and privacy audit services sold to police departments and cities that want crime-fighting tools with stricter privacy controls.
Privacy-first public safety & surveillance governance

Vendors who certify sensor limits and offer privacy-first services let cities keep cameras without taking the political heat.
