Spycam Force
Wired on Chicago's IT. The story has a few nuggets, but generally provides an entertaining read on the role of IT in Chicago's police department (with good background on Ron Huberman).
The story mentions that the police will depend upon Verizon's high-speed cellular network to connect to officers in patrol cars.
How Oracle contributed 20 million in time, software, and hardware to get Clear running. Clear (Citizen Law Enforcement Analysis and Reporting) is an IT system connecting several databases to make it easy for officers to find relevant information.
It notes the price of the camera project, Chicago is putting up $5 million, Homeland Security $34 million, and $3.5 million from seizures for gunshot cameras.
