"New site will help law enforcement collaborate" by Terry Collins | Associated Press, September 03, 2013
SAN FRANCISCO — A law enforcement social-media network designed exclusively for the men and women in blue is close to being launched.
Created by former Boston police commissioner and Los Angeles police chief Bill Bratton, BlueLine is a site on which officers can share expertise, insight, and information securely through video, instant messaging, videoconferencing, and screen-share capabilities.
The network is scheduled to go live at the International Association of Police Chiefs’ annual conference in Philadelphia in late October, said Bratton, who is also a former New York City police commissioner.
Bratton, an international expert on reducing crime and improving police-community relations, said there has been a longstanding belief that federal, state, and local agencies work closely, especially since the Sept. 11 attacks.
That’s not entirely true, he said, adding that he hopes BlueLine will be another tool to help bridge the gap.
So when is the next Israeli-sponsored in collaboration with elements of the AmeriKan government false flag, Bill?
Those who join will be accredited members of law enforcement. They will be able to create databases, have PowerPoint meetings, and search for other members via name, topics, and interests.
‘‘This is a big void that needed to be filled,’’ Bratton said. ‘‘Our intent is to have officers locate their counterparts and closely interact with each other on a number of topics, such as gangs and counterterrorism, as well as share their best practices and strategies.’’
And if this turns into degrading personal issues and utter depravity like other social media networks? If rapes are videotaped and other sexual assaults are posted like the footballers? Will they post the shootings of all the suspects they murder every day in this country?
Bratton is widely credited with co-creating Compstat, the innovative crime-mapping system used in New York, Los Angeles, and other cities. It uses computer data to direct police to specific high-crime areas.
Bratton said BlueLine was conceived earlier this year and created by his New York venture capital-backed start-up, Bratton Technologies....
Looks like a PHAT BLUE LINE for BRATTON!
Initial reports have compared BlueLine to Facebook, but company officials say it will more closely resemble business-oriented sites like LinkedIn....
‘‘Our focus is to have a walled community where you’re verified and authenticated, so you have a safe form of communication,” said David Riker, Bratton Technologies’ president.
Yup, safe communications for authorities while all your communications and movements are being logged and tracked, citizen.
Security is extremely important, said Los Angeles Police Captain Sean Malinowski. ‘‘We’re already seeing a lot of potential with it,’’ he said. ‘‘This is not a traditional social-media site, even though you can share files, photos, and stuff. It’s really specific to the subject matter and expertise that officers want to divulge with each other.’’
Security -- meaning THIER PRIVACY -- are "extremely important."
Malinowski said most officers have safety and privacy concerns about social media. ‘‘They try not to be as traceable because there are threats made against officers all of the time,’’ he said.
Really? Then call the NSA and go get 'em.
But hey, why am I getting so upset? It's not like cops do not shovel shit and lie in AmeriKa. They are the rule, not the exception. The exception is an honest, good, decent, caring, compassionate cop. Not really surprising when you know who is training them.
BlueLine will require multiple verifications to join and enter the network....
So Bratton can make a buck!
