KANSAS CITY, Mo. (April 27, 2026) — The Times home affairs correspondent Matt Dathan recently spent two days embedded with the Kansas City Police Department to see how Peregrine is transforming real-world policing in the field.

“This is the future of policing in action,” Dathan wrote in The Times.

Dathan witnessed a high-speed chase from the backseat of a patrol car, the apprehension of a suspected car hijacking suspect, and the real-world application of Peregrine to help field officers locate their suspect using real-time data.

“The software was at their fingertips throughout their ‘East Patrol’ shift as they hunted criminals — from robbery suspects, domestic abusers, drug dealers and multiple shooters — all the while listening to rock classics on the Jack FM radio station interspersed with communications from the police radio channel,” Dathan wrote.
