The New York Police Department has been testing a couple pairs of Google�s new, Internet-connected eyeglasses.

NYPD chief spokesman Stephen Davis says in a statement Friday that the nation�s largest police force has been evaluating two pairs of Google Glass since it received them last December.

Davis says the computerized gadgets haven�t been deployed in any field operations and are still being checked to see if they can play any role in policing.

Google Inc. hasn�t yet made the computerized devise available to the general population. Instead, the Mountain View, Calif.-based company has delivered them to tens of thousands of people who are testing and creating apps for them.

Google didn�t immediately respond to a request for comment.

VentureBeat technology blog first reported Wednesday the NYPD was testing the glasses.
