Episode 36: Smarter Cities, Safer Streets — The Future of ALPR & Smart City Tech – Ekin
Episode 36 dives into the rapidly evolving world of Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR) and smart city technology.
Jim Harris sits down with Malik Ekin from Ekin Smart City Solutions to discuss how modern law enforcement agencies are using connected technology to improve public safety, strengthen investigations, and make smarter operational decisions.
But this conversation goes far beyond the technology itself. We explore the real issues agencies need to be thinking about: privacy, policy, ethics, data management, transparency, public trust, and the responsibility that comes with powerful surveillance tools.
As ALPR systems and smart city infrastructure continue to expand, the question is no longer whether this technology will be used — it is how agencies can use it effectively, legally, ethically, and responsibly. Whether you are a police executive, supervisor, investigator, patrol officer, municipal leader, or simply interested in the future of public safety technology, this is a conversation you do not want to miss.

Episode 35: Tactical Calm-Using Breath and Mindfulness to Improve First Responders
It's 3am, and you're on duty. Suddenly, you're thrust into a dynamic situation; one that may be life or death. Your equipment is ready, your training has prepared you to respond. But what about your nervous system? Will you be able to mentally handle the immediate challenge? And will you be prepared to handle what comes next?
In this episode, Jim talks with Jennifer Schwester of jennyzenyoga.com. Jennifer is a yoga instructor, and the spouse and mother of emergency responders. They discuss the stress response, the "why" of how your body responds in a critical situation, and how to get your nervous system to recover after stressful situations, and how to control it before it controls you.
