Schenectady, NY adds Pathfinder software to police vehicles for improved patrol management

Pathfinder supports live mobile reports by officers about their patrol routes and notable community interactions. Officers on subsequent shifts can review reports on their tablets and patrol new areas within their assigned zones. Schenectady worked with local developer Transfinder on a three-month pilot involving three patrol cars. The pilot's success led to Pathfinder's installation across its 25-vehicle fleet in January 2023.
