Vixilia

Vixilia is an AI-driven automated dispatching and law enforcement tool which utilizes augmented reality aspects developed by Tecnoloxías Gardián in 2017 designed to enhance response times and officer safety. Interactions with Vixilia occur through a purpose-built mobile application or through desktop computers or mobile data terminals. In February of 2018, Tecnoloxías Gardián announced it was developing a set of heads-up display equipped glasses designed to interaction with Vixilia as well.

Features

Dispatching

Dispatchers utilizing Vixilia can send dispatch information to officers, and Vixilia will automatically program the cars installed satellite navigation system with the most efficient route to the dispatch address, including pulling data from participating traffic cameras and traffic congestion monitoring applications. In configured vehicles, such as the MA Enforcer, the route will display on the MDT, and will work with the turn by turn navigation of the vehicle heads up display.

Vixilia is being trailed for use with the emergency reporting system in an attempt to route out unnecessary calls and to prioritize incoming calls for service by being the initial point of contact for callers. Callers will state their emergency and Vixilia will either direct them to contact the jurisdictions non-emergency line, inform the caller the situation is not a law enforcement matter, or forward the provided information to a live person and transfer the call. This system has received extremely scrutiny and pushback from various concerned citizen groups. Though this system is currently not in use, Vixilia does utilize several advanced algorithms to sort calls for service based on priority and push them to dispatchers in order of importance. Vixilia will listen to call data, listen for keywords and also utilize voice stress analysis technology to properly classify each call and place it in an order of precedence on the dispatch board. Dispatchers do have the ability to manually reassign the priority level of a call.

On scene abilities

In addition for use with stationary observation and security cameras, Vixilia has been designed to function with the newest produced body and weapon cameras to observe and review everything the officer's camera sees or hears and issued prompts to the officer via the interface app. Vixilia will do the following;

• Using facial recognizing, Vixilia will query the National Enforcement Intelligence Database to identify individuals who may have outstanding warrants. It will take a still image of each person tagged for review by the officer.
• If the officer's camera captures a vehicles license plate, Vixilia will send a still image of the plate to the officers personal log as well as his assigned dispatch center for easy retrieval. It will also pull the vehicle's registration information and display it for the officer via a mobile device or mobile data terminal. As of 2018, all new plates produced within Temuair have a small QR code on the upper-right corner. This can be scanned manually by an officer and will provide vehicle information. It also acts as an obvious visual indicator for Vixilia.
• Vixilia will notify the officer of any listed closed-circuit television camera systems in the area. If Vixilia can identify unlisted cameras from images viewed, it will also provide the officer with that information.

Reporting, research, and analysitcs

Vixilia will accept real-time voice input from officers, allowing them to rapidly locate information within a purpose-built law enforcement library which includes complete criminal codes for most jurisdictions as well as other law enforcement specific research topics. It will also allow officers to search the internet for information.

Vixilia algorithm will analyze recordings from the officer's body camera, or multiple cameras if the data has been uploaded to the system, and offer a list of categorized events to allow for more efficient report writing.

Vital sign monitroing

Currently, Tecnoloxías Gardián is continuing attempts to integrate a lightweight and unobtrusive vitial sign mooniotiruing for officers.

In 2018, Tecnoloxías Gardián unveiled its first prototype vital sign monitoring system within a fully enclosed suit. The suit utilizes a mobile electrocardiography unit with four attachments to monitor the electrical activity of the wearer's heart, as well as blood pressure. The suit utilizes Vixilia to monitor these readings and if a significant spike or drop is detected, such as if the officer is wounded, running or engaged in combat with a subject, Vixilia will ping the officers location using an integrated satellite navigation unit to nearby officers and dispatch, as well as issue an all-channel radio message announcing that the officer is in need of assistance and his location.

Though it was deemed too cumbersome for use by municipal police forces, and its appearance considered too "militaristic" for policing, it is being considered for use by special weapons and tactics teams, and the Imperial Defense Research Agency is reportedly interested in the technology for use with the FORVEUN project.

In February of 2019, the chief of the Dinsmar Police announced it would acquire four Gardián suits for evaluation.

Critisism

In late 2018, Tecnoloxías Gardián was criticized by several activist groups in Rucesion when it was learned that Vixilia was determining call importance based on the origin of the call in the case of a landline, or the nearest cell tower in the case of a mobile phone, and was assigned a higher priority to calls originating within zones designated as "high crime" areas within the city. According to critics, this activity was an inherent bias in the system as high crime areas tend to be synopsis with impoverished neighborhoods. Police Commissioner Geraldo Castelan responded that the analytics was in no way biased and pointed out that the system was allowing for faster response times in those areas, thereby allowing officers to respond faster to reported crimes and, over time allowing for a possible drop in the areas effective crime index rating. On the other hand, suburban critics of the system stated a fear that the system would prioritize a minor crime in a high crime zone over a major crime in a minor crime zone. Tecnoloxías Gardián programers indicated this was highly unlikely to occur, though they refused to share the exact specifications of Vixilia analytics software for fear of corporate espionage.
