About the Book: Police Technology
For Computers in Criminal Justice, Police Technology,
Introductory Cybercrime and Introductory Crime
Analysis courses as well as courses in Management
of Public Information Systems.
The only book of its kind available today, Police
Technology is an up-to-date, practical examination of
information technology in law enforcement. Through
the lens of common criminal justice themes such as
community policing, fragmentation, and other
criminological theories, it tackles the broad field of
information technology systematically - it starts with a
basic introduction to computers, explores police
communications technology, and presents
cutting-edge strategic and tactical technology used by
police to predict, investigate and prevent crime.
"Police Technology offers, hands-down, the most
thorough, up-to-date, state-of-the-art coverage of current
and emerging technologies." — Samuel Nunn, Indiana
University-Purdue University, Indianapolis
"Police Technology "is truly a one-stop-shop technology
overview, whether the student is a basic police recruit; a
midlevel manager who now realizes he or she must be `up'
on ail this or become irrelevant; or, a chief or sheriff who
aspires to truly understand his or her agency's technology
plan and how to successfully manage it to reach important
departmental and community goals." — Dave Pettinari,
Pueblo County (Colorado) Sheriff's Office
