    Spend $160 million on new smartphones. Mere months after handing them out, Microsoft stops supporting the software. http://nypost.com/2017/08/28/nypd-needs-to-replace-36k-useless-smartphones/ …pic.twitter.com/RXV5jfRzO5

        "It also allowed for the NYPD to replace the smartphones with devices of our choosing two years later, also at no cost."

        Got a panel of experts to move from one proprietary OS to another, because experts need money and panels pay less than the companies.

        maybe read the link I tweeted last night from the woman who ran the project on everything that's inaccurate in that story

        Microsoft-Nokia platform smartphone. Not one sentient human being ever bought one. Bet someone got a sizeable kickback on that sale.

        Response says the contract says they can replace it with a phone of their choice. If so, did it happen? Not clear. http://nypdnews.com/2017/08/deputy-commissioner-information-technology-jessica-tischs-response-ny-post-article/ …pic.twitter.com/YMdNuQo4oo

        What did they pay $160 million for? Do police have functioning smartphones? etc. etc. Software has such high rents for an "as is" product.

        Law enforcement tech contracting is fascinating and doesn't get covered enough.
