Editor's Notes
Look at everything which has changed just since 2007 when the first iPhone was launched.
Crime rate is down overall in New York City, but “apple picking” – stealing of iPhones and iPads while commuters are on the subway, is up 40%. So someone came up with this idea - http://www.theatlanticcities.com/design/2012/09/questionable-smartphone-accessory-day-iphone-shiv/3252/
Increasingly counties and cities are putting major applications in the cloud. Here are the examples:Workday for HR and Payroll – San Mateo County, CA and Pierce County (Tacoma) WACase management system by Karpel – San Luis Obispo County, King County (Seattle) WA and State of Missouri and many othersAccela for permitting – many examplesOchin/EPIC for healthcare records management – Multnomah County OR and King County WA
A logical extension of intelligent transportation systems – if driverless cars become ubiquitous, they could interact with ITS and other sensors in the roadway to vastly reduce collisions and deaths – maybe eliminate them. Furthermore drivers would no longer violate most road laws, running red lights, speeding etc. because the cars would be in control, eliminating the need for traffic enforcement, allowing redeployment of police officers to other tasks. Similarly cars would interact with the ITS to find available parking spaces and automatically pay for them.
Examples:Smart Grid for electric networks – automating all distribution and meters so they could be read, managed, outages detected, etc.Smart Grid for water – especially important in Arizona, LA and San Francisco. Monitor every faucet and toilet and other water user in a home or business. When you check out of your hotel, for example, you might receive a detailed bill showing the water and electricity you used, thereby encouraging conservation.Personal area networks – use for public safety officers (police/fire) to connect bio-monitoring, radio, smartphone, tablet, GPS and a host of other personally worn devices and allow them to communicate back to incident command.
Example shown here is tracking firefighters at the scene or in buildings, but there are many others – tracking and displaying snowplows (Chicago, Boston), tracking other employees such as Child Protective Services or building inspectors for employee safety or deployment, even tracking devices such as guns or car keys.
Congress authorized $7 billion to construction a nationwide public safety and government 4G wireless network - http://www.ntia.doc.gov/category/firstnet
Drones and video surveillance – video operations centers now found in Long Beach and Charlotte. Use of drones by government is controversial today but eventually will come with appropriate privacy safeguards.
CIOs need to value themselves not by the number of people they supervise or their direct budget expenditure, but rather by their value to the businesses of government.
These are examples of cities and counties and states who have appointed a Chief Innovation Officer or redeployed their CIO as a Chief Innovation Officer. Boston and Philly have “Mayor’s Office of New Urban Mechanics” for innovation too.
If your data center is old and out of date, consider partnering with another government or moving to publicly hosted cloud services. Oakland County MI and Sussex County NJ both are hosting applications and services for cities in their jurisdictions and elsewhere. Public safety agencies have long cooperated to share and use applications installed at other public safety agencies.
Examples:Ready San DiegoContra Costa Food InspectorKing County Assessor iPad applicationHorry County SC public safety iPad appBoston “Citizen Connect” now being extended to 100+ other cities in Massachusetts – Boston also has a “city worker” app for use by City employees.
Example shown is “My Neighborhood Map” web app at City of Seattle – displays 911 calls for police and fire, crime reports, downloadable redacted crime report PDFs, building inspections, parks locations, business licenses and more.Other examples include real-time crime centers and analytics in New York City and Memphis and other places, plus “fusion centers” in many parts of the country.Also see PredPol developed by UCLA and now in use in LA and Seattle to try and crunch the numbers and better deploy police.Govloop report: http://www.govloop.com/profiles/blogs/new-govloop-report-unlocking-the-power-of-government-analytics
The CIO as Cyberwarrior – another important and necessary role.
Video surveillance, body worn video (Chief Ray Schultz in Albuquerque and others), facial recognition of video to find wanted people. Issues for CIOs include storing all this stuff, search it, eDiscovering it and providing it in response to FOIA or public disclosure requests.Google Glass is a private sector example of the use of video and Internet connected glasses.
With video cameras and facial recognition, private companies as well as government could cross-correlate a vast trove of data on individuals to profile them for advertising, sales, public safety purposes.
Become a Chief Information Officer not a CIO who manages servers, storage, networks etc. Bring value to the businesses in government. Become a Chief Innovation Officer to rapidly adapt consumer technologies and other changes in the technology landscape for use in your government.Collaborate with other governments – if you have a good data center, host apps for others; otherwise buy or use hosted apps from them. Partnering with key vendors is very important for public safety, cybersecurity and other areas where resources are short or hard to come by.
