From database and social media tools, smart phones, body-worn cameras, HD CCTV, devices for covert operations, innovations in armor for vehicles, biometrics, AI, robotics, to numerous other technologies that are still on the drawing board-the tools of a beat cop are changing every day.

This class explores some of the technologies, policies, and legal issues, for using these technologies and hear from some special guest speakers.
