Enhancing Law Enforcement with Smart Glasses: A Comprehensive Investigation into Real-Time Criminal Detection Using AI and Machine Learning

Abstract-Law enforcement agents can anticipate smart glasses as the next wearable technology evolution which provides innovative and enhanced crime detection capabilities. The paper develops an Intelligent Criminal Detection System (ICDS) which uses smart glasses together with artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) features for system deployment. The system development provides police forces with better capabilities to record evidence in real time through improved facial recognition functionality. Fast suspect recognition becomes achievable through the ICDS because of Viola-Jones algorithm integration with OpenCV and YOLOv8 technology which maintains excellent performance in dynamic busy surveillance areas. This paper investigates smart glass engineering dynamics together with their contemporary implementation by police departments to understand their substantial impact on current law enforcement methods. The research evaluates devastating consequences of smart system deployment which includes privacy breaches and data security vulnerabilities together with subjects being misidentified incorrectly. The system architecture identifies the process in which smart glasses interface with police databases and current data systems. The system performance evaluation takes place in simulated environments through tests that verify its operational efficiency against conventional practices by assessing speed accuracy and dependability. This paper investigates smart glass deployment activities from real police departments at Dubai Police and New York Police Department to establish their usage in investigative functions. Research development will follow two main paths according to the paper including the improvement of real-time feedback algorithms alongside affordable systems and ethical frameworks to gain public trust. This paper includes recommended legislation which promotes appropriate use of smart glasses during law enforcement operations alongside the specified protocols. The study combines modern technology with practical field experience to expand criminal detection system knowledge about smart glass deployment.
