Camera opportunity
Inspect Alberta 511 public camera metadata, rank nearby views, and check whether a frame is dark, flat, or low-detail. The feed is for non-commercial exercise use unless permission is obtained.
Initiative 02 · exercise prototype
PULSE tests a narrower question: can teams preserve the next useful piece of evidence faster?
PULSE combines camera opportunity, source health, ground conditions, assignments, and an auditable briefing flow for controlled missing-person exercises. It does not find people, assess an individual, or direct a live search.
The operational hypothesis
The map is not the product. The hand-off is.
The proposed wedge is the chain from last-known point to camera owner, justified time window, preservation request, assignment closure, and evidence-system hand-off. It still requires agency validation.
Ground readiness
Place an Edmonton exercise point and inspect current weather, disruptions, transit, facilities, water, wooded ground, and source failures.
Preservation workflow
Identify the camera owner, record authority and time window, track the overwrite deadline, assign retrieval, and hand native evidence into existing systems.
Isolation remains—but with different decision rights
The Social Isolation Index describes structural conditions across a neighbourhood. It supports prevention, outreach coverage, transport access, and service planning.
- Built from published neighbourhood-level census and infrastructure inputs.
- Every component and missing value is visible.
- Address search resolves a real location to its published neighbourhood polygon.
- Excluded from person-specific risk, search priority, perimeter, and deployment decisions.
Hard boundary
No predictive policing claim
No reviewed evidence establishes that this composite predicts who will go missing or where a missing person will be found. PULSE keeps aggregate prevention context separate from operational readiness.
“Useful if measured. Dangerous if oversold.”
Not fundable as a citywide AI platform—ready for validation as a narrow pilot.
The next step is not more surveillance or more features. It is workflow interviews, a lawful or synthetic camera registry, and a matched exercise measuring time to owner, preservation request, assignment closure, and complete audit record.
