Protecting the Public with Lt. Mike Ricupero

I'm beyond thrilled to announce PEAK IDV EXECUTIVE SERIES VIDEO PODCAST Season 3, Episode 29. In this week's episode, I had the distinct honor of speaking with a true crime fighter and community leader, Lieutenant Commander Detective Mike Ricupero of the New York City Police Department .

Lieutenant Ricupero oversees the facial recognition section and specialty units that fall under the NYPD’s Real-Time Crime Center. Lieutenant Ricupero has a unique skill set that includes expertise in law enforcement, link analysis, facial recognition, law, and social media. He frequently features in press and media for the crime center.

In our conversation, we cover his early career and how he came to join the police department. We also discuss how the NYPD’s RTCC is fighting crime and protecting the public. We dive into use cases for face recognition and weapons detection as well as New York’s new public safety program CONNECT NEW YORK.

The fully corrected transcripts & resources links will be posted to the EXECUTIVE SERIES site within a few days. I just couldn't wait to release this conversation!
