New and emerging technologies are playing an increasingly crucial role in the daily work of frontline law enforcement officers, equipping them with enforcement and investigative tools that have the potential to make them better informed and more effective. Technology is impacting individual officers and is having a transformative impact on law enforcement agencies as well. Contemporary law enforcement agencies have implemented a host of technologies to enable expanded communication with officers in the field, to expedite and improve crime reporting and analysis, and to better manage the tactical deployment of forces and the strategic utilization of resources.
