Technology has played a large role in law enforcement-related events, making the job of a police officer even more challenging. This same technology has the opportunity to improve policing policies across the country, especially when it comes to managing and building community relations.
Imagine your department is considering using body cameras and social media as part of a digital dive initiative to build community relations. The department staff has asked you to present your predictions on the future challenges in the field of policing and how the implementation of these technologies can contribute to building safer communities.
