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
