The FBI is getting in on the law enforcement app game on the heels of a controversial data mining project by the Homeland Security Department.
Documents recently posted on line seek industry input to develop the equivalent of a web alert system.
“I think what you are looking at is a Google news feed specifically targeted for law enforcement, focusing on their specific needs,” Frank Ciluffo, who leads George Washington University’s Homeland Security Policy Institute, told Fox News..“We’re on our mobile phones and we’re on our various iPhones, BlackBerrys and the like that transmits data that locates individuals.”
