Impact analysis
Taxpayer money is currently being funneled into software that isn't just failing, but is actively creating expensive administrative headaches.
Tech vendors selling these unvetted AI tools are the only ones winning while the city deals with the fallout.
The public loses out when police resources are wasted on fixing digital errors instead of focusing on actual community safety.
