An excellent example of the innovative use of technology is ICAM (Information Collection for Automated Mapping)—an easy-to-use, PC-based, mouse-driven mapping system created by Chicago police officers. ICAM has been installed in all twenty-five of our police district stations so that police personnel—from beat officers to commanders—can quickly and easily generate maps showing the crime patterns in their particular neighborhoods. Just as important, ICAM is allowing police personnel to share this information with the community, so that it can be better informed and empowered to solve problems. ICAM is only one example of how we are using technology to support police.” Community members have been given cell phones specifically for contacting their beat officers quickly.

Surprisingly, a number of jails and state prisons across the country are in the middle of a heated crisis. A high percentage of the jails and prisons are dealing with antiquated communication systems that place the institution at risk. An institution without a strong communication system is a danger to the inmates and the personnel in the institution. Therefore, it should not come as a surprise that the city of Struthers plans to close their city jail. They decided to take this strategic step instead of making improvements to the communications system within the jail along with other outstanding issues.

These devices were groundbreaking at the time. Not only could you use them as a regular cell phone, but with high-resolution screens, a music player, and a digital camera, there was finally one device that could do it all. Whether Mossberg knew these devices would evolve into modern-day smartphones is unclear, but even in 2003, he understood the potential of this technology. The invention and improvements of the personal digital assistant revolutionized personal communication, laying the foundation for the hyper-connected digital world we live in today. The evolution of technology in the United States is a testament to the country’s ability to innovate and adapt.

By integrating technology into our everyday activities such as transportation, paying our bills our any other activities such as these, we are creating a greater risk. Any item or activity we try to integrate technology into, now has the very same problems and weaknesses that a computer has. This includes viruses, vulnerability to hackers, data loss, corrupted files and the list goes on. But why would we use these tools when we already know their flaws. This is because marketers lead us into a false sense of security, by making us believe that there upgrades to everyday activities have innovative and protective features such as a fingerprint scanner.

I am honored to apply for the Masters of Science Program in Computer Information Systems offered at SUNO (Southern University at New Orleans). I have been told by many professors that I display a natural talent in understanding computers. I’ve also had a deep passion for working in law enforcement and since my entry in 2011, I have noticed there is a lack of understanding and ability to keep up with the growing advancements in technology for law enforcement professions. This problem has arisen mostly from the allotted budgets that are issued to law enforcement professions. The use of technology has been shown to help solve and reduce crime in the United States and by allowing law enforcement officials to better understand information systems and the ability to keep up with growing technology could benefit both
citizen safe from crime and terrorism, and the new technology has become a convenience for criminals and terrorists. Unfortunately, technology and law have not paced themselves properly leading to a disconnection and a subsequent public-safety issue. When the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA) of 1994 was in place, it was entirely different scenario. Phone companies were forced by the law to build surveillance technologies in their devices and networks to let law enforcement install wiretaps.
Every year technology has developed more, we no longer need a dog to sniff their way back home, and we now have gps on our phone that can lead us to our front door.
