Safer City: Redefining Urban Safety with AI
How It Works
- Real-Time Surveillance and Monitoring
- Comprehensive City Coverage: A network of over 6,500 AI-powered cameras continuously monitors public spaces, providing 24/7 visual data to law enforcement.
- Instant Alerts: The system detects potential threats and sends real-time alerts to police, ensuring immediate attention to high-risk areas.
- Integrated Command Center: A centralized hub for monitoring, managing, and responding to city-wide surveillance feeds, offering real-time insights.
- AI-Powered Threat Detection and Prevention
- Predictive Analytics: AI processes live footage to detect and predict suspicious behavior, allowing authorities to intervene before crimes are committed.
- Proactive Crime Prevention: The AI-driven system identifies patterns of behavior or incidents that signal potential criminal activities, helping law enforcement take preventative measures.
- Smart Resource Allocation: The system suggests optimal resource deployment based on crime data, ensuring law enforcement is present where needed most.
- Data-Driven Public Safety Insights
- Actionable Intelligence: Data collected from city surveillance is analyzed to provide actionable insights for crime trends, hot spots, and law enforcement strategies.
- Enhanced Decision Making: City officials and police can use data-driven reports to adjust their safety strategies, target problem areas, and improve public trust.
- Long-Term Urban Planning: Insights help city planners design safer public spaces by identifying areas requiring additional infrastructure or surveillance.
Overview
- In 2024, Tanzania is set to implement the Safer City project, a transformative initiative aimed at enhancing urban security through cutting-edge AI-driven technology. As urban areas grow and safety concerns rise, this project seeks to redefine how law enforcement and city management respond to threats in real time. By establishing an AI-Powered Command Center, managed by technology and security experts, the system will ensure faster response times, prevent crimes before they happen, and create safer communities.
- The command center will connect over 6,500 cameras across major cities like Dar es Salaam, Arusha, Mwanza, and Dodoma. Using advanced analytics and real-time video processing, the platform will empower police and city officials to act swiftly, improving overall public safety. The Safer City project is a step toward building smart, secure urban environments where citizens and businesses can thrive.

The Landscape
-
- Current Position
-
-
- Growing Crime Concerns: Urban areas are facing increased crime rates, including theft, vandalism, and public safety risks.
- Limited Law Enforcement Resources: Police forces are stretched thin, making it difficult to monitor large areas and respond to incidents quickly.
- Lack of Real-Time Data: Law enforcement lacks the tools to gather and act on real-time data, limiting their ability to prevent crimes before they happen.
- Technological Gaps: Existing surveillance systems are outdated and incapable of supporting the demands of a growing urban population.
- Public Fear: Citizens and businesses express concerns about safety, impacting daily life and economic activities.
- Inadequate Infrastructure: Major cities lack sufficient infrastructure for comprehensive, 24/7 surveillance.
-
The Problem We’re Solving
-
-
- Delayed Police Response: Without real-time surveillance, it takes longer for law enforcement to respond to incidents, increasing the risk of crime escalation.
- Limited Crime Prevention: Existing systems are reactive rather than proactive, allowing crimes to occur before intervention.
- Resource Misallocation: Law enforcement resources are not used efficiently due to the lack of predictive analytics and data-driven insights.
- Growing Public Safety Concerns: Citizens feel unsafe, limiting their movement and trust in the system.
- Underutilized Technology: AI and modern surveillance tools are not fully leveraged, which affects the ability to monitor high-risk areas comprehensively.
