National Law Enforcement Museum Kicks Off Conversations Series with Panel on Predictive Policing

The National Law Enforcement Museum at the Motorola Solutions Foundation Building has announced it will kick off its 2019 Conversations discussion series with a panel discussion on predictive policing.

Big data technologies are changing policing. In this lively panel discussion, guests will learn about how big data affects our communities and explore what happens when an algorithm determines whether a person is statistically likely to commit a violent act. Panelists from the Washington, DC area and Chicago will talk about their experience with predictive policing and what every person should know about this technology.

NBC4 Prince George’s County Bureau Chief Tracee Wilkins will moderate this engaging panel of experts:

  • Dr. Andrew G. Ferguson from the University of the District of Columbia and author of The Rise of Big Data Policing: Surveillance, Race and the Future of Law Enforcement.
  • Reverend Tony Lee, founder and Senior Pastor of the Community of Hope A.M.E. Church in Hillcrest Heights, Maryland
  • Chief Jonathan Lewin of the Chicago Police Department’s Bureau of Technical Services

“The Museum is committed to offering thought-provoking programs that explore topics of interest and concern to our visitors,” said David L. Brant, executive director of the National Law Enforcement Museum. “By providing a platform for dialogue and discussion, we hope to be able to introduce important topics to the community that are both engaging and relevant.”
