The Last Telecommunicator Has Been Born

Futurists have begun to offer the prospect that the last people to be employed in certain professions have already been born. Law enforcement agencies attempting to address skyrocketing employee costs, high attrition rates, and the desire of the community to be included in the ways policing is done create a petri dish for technology to bloom. Add in an accelerator—the need to develop new law enforcement technology with a national or global standard—and the field may be on the cusp of radical change. One place almost all of these factors can be realized is in the law enforcement telecommunications center.
