Special Focus: Policing Software

The ever-increasing presence of computers in the law enforcement community has resulted in a proliferation in computer applications to assist with numerous agency functions. Software has been developed to streamline processes, increase uniformity, improve accessibility, and enlarge file storage capacity, among other purposes. As a service to public safety executives faced with countless software options, The Police Chief presents information regarding several products currently available for a variety of tasks and purposes. Photographs and details about the packages were provided by the software makers. (Note: Police Chief or IACP endorsement of products is in no way implied by inclusion in this listing.)
