Summary

The text highlights those technologies that are changing the way police are engaging with communities and delivering services. The pace with which electronic and digital technology have permeated modern policing has been remarkable. Some digital technology has miniaturized what law enforcement agencies already do, as in the case of police radios, or has sped up what they do, thanks to computers. More significant are those technologies that have allowed and encouraged police departments to revise their organizational strategies, policies, and routines. This intentionally brief publication illustrates some of the ways in which e-policing can support and enhance community policing. From tweeting with the community to soliciting information from online anonymous tip sites, the police are using the Internet, websites, and other digital technologies to enhance their community policing efforts.
