November - 20206GOVERNMENT CIO OUTLOOKEDITORIALShaping the Future of Law EnforcementLaw enforcement is evolving rapidly with the proliferation of new threats and challenges. Increased scrutiny from the public and the media has prompted police professionals to make significant changes in structure, culture, and technology. There is a renewed focus on community-oriented policing due to widespread public distrust from high-profile fatalities. While this is not a technology trend, it is likely to remain relevant at every level--from local, state, and federal levels of law enforcement. Most agencies have already started the implementation of new strategies and technologies to collaborate with local communities. Now this will result in significant growth of public-private partnerships between police departments and community residents, propelling their active participation in public safety. Similar to other industries, IoT has an integral role in law enforcement technology advancements. It helps to streamline communication, enhance criminal investigative capabilities, and officer safety. A prominent technology in this regard is the smartphone. Its GPS capabilities, law-enforcement specific apps, and built-in cameras have established the mobile device a utility tool. Smartphones also equip officers to access cloud-based platforms for information on-the-go. The interconnectivity brought on by IoT calls for breaking down the existing silos. Technology integrations, open-loop systems, and intra-departmental communications are essential components for developing smart policing. Considering change is inevitable and innovation a necessity, law enforcement agencies should watch out for new trends and efficiently utilize technology to improve public safety for today and tomorrow.
