Session Submission Summary

The Impacts of Technology on Police Agencies and Outcomes

Fri, Nov 18, 8:00 to 9:20am, Hilton, St. Charles Ballroom, 3rd Level

Session Submission Type: Complete Thematic Panel

Abstract

Although technology holds much promise for improving policing, research on police technology is not well developed and raises questions about the realization of technology’s potential benefits. In practice, technology can affect an agency in a variety of intended and unintended ways that may limit its effectiveness. The ways in which personnel manage and use technology are also critical to achieving desired improvements. This panel will present results from multiple studies funded by the National Institute of Justice to examine how police agencies and outcomes are affected by selected technologies including information systems, license plate readers, and crime analysis. The panelists will consider the implications of these findings for optimizing the implementation and uses of technology in policing.
