"public service" was a bit of a misnomer. The article states:
"Amazon is providing police departments in Orlando, Fla., and Washington County, Ore., with powerful facial recognition technology."
Rekognition is SaaS (software as a service). Anyone can pay for running Rekoginition on their data sets (within Amazon ToS). Rekognition was not created directly for the police departments in FL or OR.

Rekognition is a public service and not specific to law enforcement use[1].

"Never Split the Difference" by Chris Voss

Chris was an FBI hostage negotiator. His book takes you through some of his hostage negotiations and demonstrates his techniques.
As a software developer, I "negotiate" all day long from code reviews to getting a promotion. His advice has helped more times than I can count.
