Following reports that they were considering using Google Glass, the NYPD has now confirmed interest and assessment of the device.
According to Gothamist, NYPD Deputy Commissioner Stephen Davis issued a statement late yesterday confirming that this was true:
No word on how long this trial period will last or if the NYPD will eventually use the devices, but Judge Shira A. Schiendlin did suggest that the department employ body-mounted cameras to observe officers' encounters with citizens. Perhaps they're taking her words seriously, and perhaps not.
