We recently had the pleasure of sitting down with Kent Augustine, CIO for the New Mexico Department of Public Safety; Dave Fontneau, CIO for the Orange County (CA) Sheriff’s Department (OCSD); and Vanetta P., CIO for the City of Alexandria, Virginia. Here’s a tip from each of them about modernizing IT operations. Vanetta, on how to help her end users: “I focus on ease of use and ease of access. I think about, what information do they need access to? How am I focusing on what technology we are delivering to make sure they can successfully use it to best do their job? I have in-depth conversations with law enforcement agencies and others to understand their problems and learn how they can best leverage technology to improve process and outcomes.” Dave, on mission focus: “Behind the scenes, we are a support operation. Officers push the mic and the radio works, or they log into the mobile data terminal, and it works – that matters. The men and women that are on the front lines could not do their job without everybody behind the scenes.” Kent, on security and data sharing: “You have to think of data governance from the very beginning of a project. We have a lot of very, very small police departments with limited resources and siloed data. We want to enable these agencies to share data along with the larger departments across the state."

Seemingly intractable public safety challenges like violent crime facing communities today can and must be solved. We’re giving city leaders the tools they need to build thriving cities for everyone.

The quantity and fragmentation of law enforcement data has created a problem for public communication and community engagement. Valid concerns that data may be inaccurate, incomprehensive, or inclusive of private content materially slows both proactive and reactive reporting to the public. Even if departments were confident in their data, the logistics of collating fragmented information make reporting too hard. A simple task like reporting crime statistics to the city council took dozens upon dozens of hours. Staff would collate the information from various, disparate sources, clean and reform the data, then plot it on a map, then share it. After all that, it’s likely out of date. We’re turning weeks or days of reporting work into hours or minutes. You don’t have to take our word for it. On a recent webinar, Captain Nakayama from the Concord Police Department said, “some of these reports and queries would take weeks, maybe even months to get in,” but with Peregrine, "we can dynamically get them within just a few minutes of making some modifications on a report.”

"We're thrilled to announce Peregrine's inaugural summer internship program! We’ve had the pleasure of working with two talented individuals from Harvard Business School this summer, who are making significant contributions to impactful projects across our business. Rachel Lurie is a rising second-year student at Harvard Business School. Before business school, she spent five years at PRINCO, managing Princeton University's venture capital and private equity portfolio. Her passion for the startup world brought her to Peregrine, where she's diving into innovative business development projects. Rachel's background in Public and International Affairs from Princeton University and her keen interest in the public sector makes her a perfect fit for our team. Caesar Lastowski is an MBA student at Harvard Business School with prior experience as a Project Leader and Senior Data Scientist at Boston Consulting Group (BCG). He joined Peregrine to further build upon his deployment expertise in a smaller, more nimble organization. His analytical skills and strategic insights have already proven invaluable to our team. We’re halfway through the summer and so far their experience has, dare we say, exceeded their expectations. Caesar said his project “has been super enlightening and lets me bridge the gap between high-level strategy definition and hands-on product development. This is such a unique opportunity to see how big ideas transform into tangible solutions outside the classroom and with customers who need it most.” Rachel agrees, “I’ve gotten a glimpse into the demanding and complex jobs of law enforcement professionals, and it’s been incredible to see their enthusiasm for the Peregrine product.” She also enjoys collaborating with our teammates in our new San Francisco office. “I’ve learned it takes an entire team effort to deliver meaningful value for our customers, and I feel lucky to work with this motivated, cohesive, and talented team at Peregrine.” We're grateful for their hard work and fresh perspectives to help drive Peregrine forward. Looking forward to more amazing things from Rachel and Caesar this summer! 🌟 #Internship #HarvardBusinessSchool #SummerInterns #ImpactfulProjects"
