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.
Information technology (IT)
plays an increasingly integral
role in the delivery of law
enforcement. Agencies that
lag in IT will soon be
considered mismanaged.
Similarly, law enforcement
leaders without a basic
knowledge of IT will soon be
considered as lacking in a
major managerial
competency. Law

concepts that explain how and why IT adds value
and provides managerial insights in the areas of
process reengineering and the acquisition and
implementation of IT. Non-technical discussions of
community policing and knowledge work are also
included. The book makes extensive use of case
studies and real-world examples.

In the last decade, the scope
of law enforcement
responsibility has broadened
dramatically. Today, most
agencies maintain, or have
access to, Critical Incident
Response Teams (SWAT)
operating specialized
vehicles. Some of the
seldom-seen contraptions
captured on-scene in this
illustrated exploration of
specialized police vehicles
include law enforcement

SUVs, straight-bed trucks, buses, motorcycles, and
ATVs.
Police forces around the
world engage in a variety of
activities. Many of these
activities, such as
roadblocks, arrests, and
increased police presence
in problem areas, are
reactive, but there are also
many proactive measures
involved in police work.
Both reactive and proactive
measures involve a large
amount of information, and
police officers need to

understand vast amounts of knowledge to carry
out their normal duties. This amount of
information means that police officers also have
to be proficient knowledge workers.
Knowledge Management Systems in Law
Enforcement: Technologies and Techniques
presents the latest research and trends in using
knowledge management to aid police activities.
The principles and practices presented in this
book will help law enforcement professionals find
ways to quickly bring vast amounts of knowledge
to bear in law enforcement, but will also help
prepare the next generation of police officers for
a more knowledge-intensive field.
How has information

changed the way we

criminal justice?
Information
Technology and the
Criminal Justice
System
There have been many technical, analytical,
legal, and organizational issues related to
advances in computer and information
technology over the past several decades. Given
the substantial investments that federal, state,
and local criminal justice agencies are making in
information technology, they now consider it an
integral component of understanding how our
criminal justice system works.

Information Technology and the Criminal Justice
System suggests that information technology in
criminal justice will continue to challenge us to
think about how we turn information into
knowledge, who can use that knowledge, and for
what purposes. In this text, editor April Pattavina
synthesizes the growing body of research in
information technology and criminal justice.
Contributors examine what has been learned
from past experiences, what the current state of
IT is in various components of the criminal justice
system, and what challenges lie ahead.
