Although most Americans prefer that policing be controlled locally, there is considerable support for federal help in funding police. One area in which federal funding has been seen as useful is in the development, testing, and implementation of improved technology. An initiative proposed by the Clinton administration would increase funding of state and local law enforcement, with emphasis on technology assistance, technology deployment, crime lab improvements, and training. This report provides information on the current status in each of these, gives examples of what has been accomplished, and suggests prospects for improvements. 606 $aFederal aid to law enforcement agencies$zUnited States 606 $aLaw enforcement$xTechnological innovations$zUnited States 606 $aCrime prevention$zUnited States 606 $aTechnology and state$zUnited States 615 0$aFederal aid to law enforcement agencies 615 0$aLaw enforcement$xTechnological innovations 615 0$aCrime prevention 615 0$aTechnology and state 676 $a363.2/028/4 700 $aSchwabe$b William$f1942-$01863835 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910954097403321 996 $aNeeds and prospects for crime-fighting technology$94478814 997 $aUNINA
