In a pivotal initiative to enhance community safety, Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions, Inc. (AITX), alongside its subsidiary Robotic Assistance Devices, Inc. (RAD), has joined forces with the Taylor, Michigan Police Department.
This collaboration focuses on deploying the RADCam Enterprise to assess its AI-enabled interactive capabilities in crime deterrence and community safety improvements across local businesses.
The Taylor Police Department previously collaborated with RAD in 2024 with the RADDOG quadruped robot pilot for law enforcement. The new RADCam Enterprise pilot aims to evaluate its effectiveness in reducing nuisance crimes and improving situational awareness, with ten initial business deployments expanding to one hundred as data collection progresses.
At the heart of RADCam Enterprise is SARA (Speaking Autonomous Responsive Agent), an award-winning AI platform that enables real-time notifications and communication through cameras, deterring unwanted activity and reducing the burden on human monitoring resources.
Once armed, RADCam monitors properties for suspicious activity, issuing verbal warnings to potential intruders and notifying the police department if necessary.
If suspicious behavior is detected, RADCam provides details such as location and behavior in real-time, thus enabling officers to request additional information and efficient response.
Introduced on September 15, 2025, RADCam Enterprise is the first AI-powered talking camera designed for commercial applications, integrating seamlessly with major video management systems.
These advancements provide proactive security solutions for businesses and law enforcement.
Affordable and innovative, RAD's solutions offer communities effective ways to bolster safety without additional personnel or infrastructure. Steve Reinharz anticipates the experiences from Taylor will guide future partnerships across the country.
AITX, through RAD, is transforming the security and guarding services industry, offering solutions with 35%-80% savings compared to traditional models. Their SOC 2 Type 2 audit completion underscores their commitment to data protection and security compliance, enhancing credibility with enterprise and government clients.
With leadership from industry veterans such as Steve Reinharz and his team, RAD utilizes their extensive expertise to deliver effective, practical solutions. RAD's growing sales pipeline, including potential contracts with over 35 Fortune 500 companies, highlights their innovative contributions to AI-based safety solutions across various industries.
AITX’s robotic offerings streamline operations, improve ROI, and enhance business operations, empowering organizations in sectors such as government, transportation, and healthcare to achieve higher situational awareness at reduced costs.
Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions, Inc., a global pioneer in AI-driven security and productivity solutions, along with its wholly owned subsidiary, Robotic Assistance Devices, Inc. (RAD), has partnered with the Taylor, Michigan Police Department to launch a community safety initiative utilizing RADCam Enterprise.
The pilot program will evaluate how RADCam Enterprise’s AI-enabled interactive capabilities can help deter crime and enhance community safety across local businesses.
This initiative marks the next step in Taylor PD’s collaboration with RAD, following the Department’s 2024 pilot involvement with the first and evolving RADDOG quadruped robot for law enforcement use.
RADCam Enterprise pilot
The RADCam Enterprise pilot will focus on real-world performance in reducing nuisance crimes, improving situational awareness, and supporting officers with timely information and communication tools.
Initial deployments will begin with ten businesses, expanding to one hundred as data is collected and analyzed for future replication across other communities.
At the center of this initiative is SARA (Speaking Autonomous Responsive Agent), the Company’s multiple award-winning agentic AI platform, which powers RADCam Enterprise.
Real-time notifications
SARA enables the cameras to communicate directly with individuals, provide real-time notifications, and deliver autonomous voice-down messages to deter unwanted activity.
The system can instantly alert officers when assistance is needed, bridging the gap between detection and response while reducing the burden on human monitoring resources.
RADCam Enterprise in action
When a property is armed for the evening, RADCam Enterprise continuously monitors for motion and activity. If movement is detected near a vehicle or structure, the system issues a verbal warning advising the individual to leave the premises immediately or law enforcement will be contacted.
The suspect’s behavior determines the next step. If the individual departs, RADCam records the encounter and preserves video and audio evidence. If the individual remains, SARA automatically places a phone call to the Taylor Police Department, providing real-time details such as the location, description, visible objects or weapons, and current behavior.
Officers can then interact with SARA to request additional information or a transcript of the event, ensuring rapid, informed response.
Technology supporting law enforcement
“We’re proud to see our technology supporting law enforcement and helping communities become safer,” said Steve Reinharz, CEO/CTO and founder of AITX and RAD.
“This partnership with Taylor PD demonstrates how RADCam Enterprise can deliver measurable results, improve response times, and strengthen collaboration between local businesses and police. We are looking forward to success here, followed by significant expansion throughout the country.”
“We thank the City of Taylor and the Taylor Police Department for leading the way in community law enforcement.”
Seamless integration with major VMS’s
RADCam Enterprise was introduced on September 15, 2025, as the world’s first speaking, AI-powered talking camera designed for commercial and enterprise applications.
The system integrates seamlessly with major video management systems (VMS) and supports SARA’s autonomous engagement features, giving businesses and law enforcement new tools to proactively address security challenges.
“We’re always exploring new ways to strengthen public safety and enhance our connection with the community,” said Lt. Jeff Adamisin of the Taylor Police Department. “This pilot allows us to evaluate how RADCam Enterprise can improve visibility across incidents, expand officer response, and help reduce incidents before they escalate. Our goal is to leverage technology that truly makes a difference for the people we serve.”
Affordable ways to strengthen safety
“We see this as the beginning of something much larger,” added Reinharz. “Communities everywhere are searching for effective, affordable ways to strengthen safety without adding personnel or infrastructure.”
“I anticipate that what we learn in Taylor will serve as the blueprint for future partnerships with police departments and municipalities across the country.”
