Computers and Other Pieces of Technology Have Drastically Helped Law

Multiple Choice

Computers and other pieces of technology have drastically helped law enforcement detect, deter, and fight crime. For example, computer-aided dispatch, or CAD, allows almost immediate communication between a police dispatcher and officers in the field. The FBI developed Advanced Fingerprint Identification Technology, or AFIT, to enhance fingerprint and latent processing services, increase the accuracy and daily fingerprint processing capacity, and improve system availability.
As technology increases, though, so does the sophistication of certain crimes and criminals. It is a constant struggle for police forces to keep up to date with emerging technologies, which can be cost prohibitive for certain low-funded departments.
This scenario focuses on technology used in police work.
You are a police officer for a moderate-size suburban police department.

They inform you the suspect is a white male, about 30 years of age, driving a red Honda Accord, license ABC123, which is listed as a newly stolen vehicle equipped with OnStar location technology. As you are responding to the crime scene, you are assessing the escape route of the suspect and trying to determine your best course of action.
