Downtown Cleveland, Inc. Teams Up with AITX’s RAD to Launch Smart Security & Safety System
Cutting-Edge Technology Aims to Enhance Safety in Public Square
Detroit, Michigan, October 2, 2024 — Downtown Cleveland, in partnership with Robotic Assistance Devices (RAD), a wholly owned subsidiary of Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”) (OTCPK:AITX), a global leader in AI-driven security and productivity solutions for enterprise clients, is proud to unveil a groundbreaking smart security camera system designed to bolster safety and security in Public Square. This innovative technology, the first of its kind in the city, is the latest addition to Downtown Cleveland’s comprehensive approach to creating a vibrant, welcoming and secure city center.
The state-of-the-art, AI-driven, solar-powered RIO™ 360 security system is equipped with advanced features and smart capabilities that not only detect loitering and trespassing after hours but also engage the public with positive, eye-catching messages on its vivid dual LED displays. The 360-degree security tower will face Terminal Tower and will be monitored by Downtown Cleveland’s Operation Center from 7 a.m. to midnight. The live feed will also be connected to the City of Cleveland’s crime center, joining a network of more than 2,800 integrated cameras as part of the Safe Smart CLE camera sharing program.
“This initiative is just our first step in leveraging smart technology as a tool to enhance public safety and security downtown,” said Michael Deemer, President and CEO of Downtown Cleveland. “It builds upon the foundation we’ve laid with some of our most recent initiatives.”
Since assuming management, marketing and programming of Public Square in August, Downtown Cleveland has implemented the following key safety measures:
| ● | 24/7 Police Presence: A dedicated police cruiser and two officers are now stationed in Public Square around the clock. | |
| ● | Clear Operating Hours: Signage has been posted to inform the public of operating hours (5 a.m. to midnight). |
“We commend Downtown Cleveland and the City of Cleveland for their vision and foresight in revitalizing Public Square,” commented Troy McCanna, RAD’s Chief Security Officer. “This area is truly the heart of the city, and their proactive approach to integrating cutting-edge technology like RIO 360 demonstrates a deep commitment to the safety and well-being of residents and visitors alike. This initiative should serve as a model for other metropolitan areas looking to create safer, more secure urban environments for their communities. It’s inspiring to see Cleveland lead the way in embracing innovation to enhance public safety.”
Downtown Cleveland remains steadfast in its mission to create a clean, safe and welcoming public realm for all. Public Square is a cornerstone of this work, and this advanced security technology is another step forward in achieving this vision.
