Along with the development of new
biometric technologies, progress has also been made
in more traditional areas of safety/security technology
over the last few years. Such technological advancements
improve existing safety/security measures and increase
their overall effectiveness. The following are a few
examples:
electronic field data capture
in highway patrol vehicles
advanced wireless communication
technologies that allow easy access and exchange of
data during major events or in case of emergencies
electronic data capture and processing
wireless location identification
technology (known as wireless enhanced 911)
real-time in-vehicle route guidance
systems that enable emergency vehicles to move more
efficiently through congested roadways
innovative surveillance technologies
to help monitor traffic violations and activities
in public areas
secure networking and online
communication and sensitive data exchange using Virtual
Private Networks (VPNs) and data encryption
Internet crime prevention tools
that allow law enforcement to update communities about
