"Police Technology offers, hands-down, the most thorough, up-to-date, state-of-the-art coverage of current and emerging technologies." — Samuel Nunn, Indiana University-Purdue University, Indianapolis

"Police Technology "is truly a one-stop-shop technology overview, whether the student is a basic police recruit; a midlevel manager who now realizes he or she must be `up' on ail this or become irrelevant; or, a chief or sheriff who aspires to truly understand his or her agency's technology plan and how to successfully manage it to reach important departmental and community goals." — Dave Pettinari, Pueblo County (Colorado) Sheriff's Office

"Police Technology reflects a great deal of research and insight into the combined areas of Information Technology and Law Enforcement Management of Technology." — Wayne Eveland (Captain, New Jersey State Police, Retired), Director Of Technical Marketing, Motorola

"Police Technology "is well-researched, well-written, welt-referenced, and provides exceptionally clear and appropriate examples." — William L. Tafoya, University Of New Haven
