  9. Ubiquitous Connectivity • Cell phones, PDAs, digital pagers, laptop computers, palm computers, personal radios, Bluetooth headphones, wireless internet, VOIP, ad infinitum • Public service typically takes 48 months to embrace a new technology, as opposed to 18 months for personal • Increase in absentee ballots • Semi-Autonomous, self-dispatched,self-organized responses • Flattened hierarchy • Incorporation of subject matter experts

  12. Five Technology Imperatives • Technology development always follows the path of least resistance • Entrance is often in the form of toys (Four zones of privacy) • Any technology always precipitates three concerns. • It creates new options—thus we are no longer confined by the conventional • it challenges assumptions—thus we confront the habitual • it blurs ethical guidelines—just because we can do something doesn’t necessarily mean we should • In law enforcement capability always exceeds acceptability • For every gateway to the future stand a thousand guardians of the past • Technology is always in a supporting role • Technology testing is always “in addition to”and not “instead of.”

  13. Stages of Weapons Development • Innovation — introduced and properly exploited provides substantial, sometimes decisive advantage • Standardization — conventional tools and methods of “doing business” with established and accepted protocols • Ritualization— accepted without challenge and habitually employed • Satirization— unrecognized obsolescence with unrelenting allegiance
