Chief Frank Fowler talks imaging for the Syracuse Police Department.
A lot has changed since 1848 when the villages of Salina and Syracuse merged to form the Syracuse Police Department (SPD). Here in the 21st Century police work and crime analysis are riding a wave of high tech.
Chief Frank Fowler visited the F.O.C.U.S. Forum last week to discuss the successes (sophisticated cameras with hi def images and loitering-trip capabilities) and limitations (cost of monitoring and storage capacity) of police cameras in the city. Chief Fowler illustrated how the the SPD relies on sophisticated imagery, gigabytes of data, and social media to supplement their investigations.
We wonder how soon the department will employ body cams.
CuseCulture Magazine is out to prove that a great time in Syracuse is not predicated on the day of the week. Their inaugural “The Colors of Love” poetry and art event was held tonight at Nikao Events on Burnett Avenue. The roster included poets Rae Sunshine, Symphony, and Hassan Stephens.
They were joined by singer Starlett Brown and painter Wil Anthony.
This regularly scheduled event will take place on select Mondays each month.
Also, the fall issue of CuseCulture will coincide with another public event at the Community Folk Art Center in October.
Jimmy Cavallo sings the blues
After missing yesterday’s show due to travel, Jimmy Cavallo said maybe this won’t be his last performance at the Italian Festival. Essentially he didn’t rule out a comeback. What he did do however, during his two-hour make-up performance, was shake, rattle and roar on the Washington Street stage. He also shared the stage with local musicians Joe Carello and Nancy Kelly.
Just in case you missed him, you have one more chance to catch Jimmy in the area because he plays the Polish American Club tomorrow.
