City of Pasadena

The South Pasadena Police Department has adopted 20 Tesla vehicles in a push to take its entire fleet of patrol and administrative vehicles electric.

The city plan meets all the required climate change goals, but it relies on assumptions of significant resource acquisition, capital upgrades, infrastructure improvements and technology advancements that may not pan out.

The device allows law enforcement agencies to log the phone’s unique identifying information and pinpoint the phone’s location. With additional software, they’ll be able to collect the content of communications.

The software update from Israeli mobile forensics company Cellebrite could be of vital assistance to investigators on a Pasadena homicide case, and to law enforcement elsewhere.
