“We have had a great experience integrating the K5 into our City resources, and it’s been very beneficial in expanding the police department’s ability to monitor public spaces, enhance the public safety element and improve the perception of our community,” said Cosme Lozano, chief of police, Huntington Park Police Department.
The city manager also previously credited the K5 ASR for having a positive impact on crime and nuisance activity at Salt Lake Park, which reduced the instances of police activity at the park. Knightscope’s technologies helped reduce calls for service by 10% and crime reports by 46% during its first year of deployment.
“The women and men in law enforcement deserve the utmost respect for the jobs they do, and they should be equipped with the best tools to accomplish their mission every day,” stated William Santana Li, chairman and CEO at Knightscope. “We are honored to be entering our sixth year of service to them to help protect the places people live, work, study and visit!”
