What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The New York Police Department backed away from a planned sole-source agreement with Cognyte Software to acquire the FalcoNet system. This decision followed protests from civil rights organizations and progressive politicians who raised concerns about resident privacy and the company's links to surveillance technologies. The NYPD confirmed the original sole-source plan did not meet necessary conditions and will proceed with a competitive procurement process, allowing Cognyte Software to submit a bid.
