The Revitalization ofLaw Enforcement
• Law enforcement is undergoing a rebirth greater than any since the time of Sir Robert Peel
• The public is tired of being victimized Victim’s “Bill of Rights” and Victims Rights Organizations “3 Strike’s Laws” Prison populations now exceed 1 million
• The demand for better, more effective law enforcement methods has never been greater

Major Emphasis• Interventions without resorting to lethal force
Focus of Effort Greatest progress has been in this area
• Stopping Vehicles No immediate solutions foreseeable
• Detecting Contraband—especially Weapons! Millimeter wavelength, infra-red, ultra-sound and a
X-rays are some of the more promising approaches Tremendous advances have recently been achieved
Prototypes are becoming available now

Gunfire Location Project (Shotspotter/Communicator)
• One of the most ambitiousprojects so far
• Detects gunfire and preciselyplots (usually within 25 feet)the location on a digital map
• An “electronic interview”is then conducted toelicit help from neighbors
• A combination of technology, aggressive patrol support and resulting arrests are achieving a reduction in gunfire (celebratory and retalitory)
