Panelists: Frank Zafiro, Jim Guigli, George Cramer, Barbara Hodges, Colin Conway.

The big question is why do your stay with WORD?

TECH SPEAING--HOW IT HAS CHANGED LAW ENFORCEMENT

Moderator: Pete Klismet

Panelists: Darlene Record, Frank Zafiro, Colin Conwasy, Dave Freeland

Body cams more megahurts in radios, Call sheet, Computer. Patrol car like a cyber jet. 

DNA/Forensics

More sharing

Reports on computer are fill int the blanks. Some felt written reports better.

Technology is only as good as the people who use it. 

Profiling.

What you see on TV is not how it is.

From two officers in a car to only one.

Cell phones, video and cameras--the dark side, risk making a mistake, rewatching vidoes of he call, social media.

Because of Mapquest don't have to know the city as well.

Weapons have changed so much.

From my notes.

Good luck with Scrivener, Barbara. Tried it. Tried hard. Maybe there were too many other things going on in my life, but the learning curve was too sharp nd I lost interest. Maybe I'm just stupid.
I couldn't figure out Scrivener's either.
