Introduction+to+Police+Technology

Points of view are generally helpful in understanding all the ramifications of a technology. You should be asking yourselves - how does the line-employee (whether sworn or non-sworn) view his technology? What are the issues for the supervisor or manager? We will also view technology against the backdrop of efficiency/effectives, community policing, situational crime prevention and fragmentation. With every technology, you should ask if it makes us more efficient in our use of resources. Does it add to our final goals thereby making us more effective? How does it enhance our community Policing? And, how has fragmentation affected it? One of the most important things to carry from this chapter is the concept that by becoming for knowledgeable and educated, we can be better end-users, supervisors, leaders and street cops.
