Summary
Technological advancements have shaped policing in many important ways over the years. One needs only to consider that the primary police strategy for much of the twentieth century – motorized preventive patrol and rapid response to calls for service – was developed in response to the invention and use of the automobile, two-way radio communications, and computer-aided dispatch systems in policing. In recent decades, there have been many significant developments with respect to information technologies, analytic systems, video surveillance systems, license plate readers, DNA testing, body-worn cameras, and other technologies that have had far-reaching effects on police agencies. Technology acquisition and deployment decisions are high priority topics for police (e.g., Koper, Taylor & Kubu, 2009), and law enforcement agencies at all levels of governments are spending vast sums on technology in the hopes of improving agency efficiency and effectiveness.
