Introduction
Will Sanson-Mosier began his tenure with the SFPD in 2013, holding two positions in project management before transitioning to the role of CIO in June 2022. He holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor and a Master of Arts from Texas State University.
Background and Role
Sanson-Mosier: I have decades of leadership and management experience spanning a myriad of states, government branches, and workforce industries. As chief information officer, I oversee the Technology Division responsible for developing and directing the technology vision, strategic road map, budgeting and purchasing, and large-scale projects and initiatives for the department.
Upcoming IT Initiatives
Sanson-Mosier: Our goal is to take SFPD to the next level in terms of technological innovation. We are currently working on two major initiatives: a complete replacement of our records management system (RMS) and the implementation of Motorola Solutions’ PremierOne Computer-Aided Dispatch to replace our legacy CAD 911 system.
Use of Drones and ALPRs
SFPD is implementing 400 Flock stationary automated license plate reader (ALPR) cameras and 22 Motorola Vigilante in-vehicle ALPR cameras. Additionally, we are establishing a Real Time Investigative Center (RTIC) to enhance public safety response with a drone as a first responder (DFR) program.
Vendor Engagement
Sanson-Mosier: Research my organization before reaching out. The most annoying thing a vendor can do is ask for a meeting to get to know and understand my technology priorities. Our website contains comprehensive information on our department, our goals, and our priorities.
Influential Projects
Sanson-Mosier: Every implementation influences me or expands my insights through new experiences and people engagement. I strive to continually forge collaborative partnerships internally and externally among public, private, and nonprofit stakeholders to successfully implement major projects.
Surprising Developments
Sanson-Mosier: One of the most surprising developments in law enforcement technology over the past 12 months was the increased utilization of artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms in various aspects of policing. Additionally, the integration of drones in law enforcement operations was another surprising trend.
Personal Interests
Sanson-Mosier: Traveling is my primary hobby. It is an exhilarating and enriching experience that allows me to explore new places, cultures, and perspectives.
Top IT Priorities
Sanson-Mosier: I consider the most important priority to ensure the security and privacy of data and systems. Protecting sensitive data from cyber threats is paramount.
