The Syracuse Poster Project unveiling was held this evening at the City Hall Commons Atrium. These two dapper gentlemen, John Thompson and Jim Emmons, helped kick off the festivities by giving a short speeches and introducing the artists. We almost thought this was a Fashion Week event.

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.

Marilyn Higgins, along with Linda Dickerson Hartsock and Maarten Jacobs, spoke last week about how the University has used innovative design, neighborhood dialogue and unlikely coalitions (creative placemaking) to promote a climate of innovation in Syracuse. The event was held in the City Hall Commons Atrium.  Higgins discussed how the new narratives of the Near Westside Initiative and Connective Corridor have ignited confidence in how the city views itself.
