Old police styles and new police technology in the US have helped slash Big City crime rates

Across America, major cities have experienced a significant drop in violent crime. Much seems due to more police on the streets, making best use of technology.
Once-notorious crime hubs like Washington DC, New York and Los Angeles, are on track for their lowest homicide rates in 40 years. Chicago, Boston, San Francisco, Las Vegas and Minneapolis are among other cities seeing notable reductions in murders.
Police say a return to beat policing combined with the introduction of sophisticated new crime fighting technology are responsible for slashing crime rates. Among the technologies which play a greater and greater part are mobile systems which keep officers on the street better informed about what's going on around them . more on this topic.

  2. That is really good to hear. I personally have experienced a loss of my one of my good friends who was beaten to death in Philly in late July, many of you may have read about it. Since then, I am very interested in police work since they managed to catch the criminals that did this. It is true that old fashioned police work is effective, as the crime rates have only been increasing in recent years. It is good to hear that they are combining this effective yet old means of controlling the peace with new technologies.

  3. Police and other department is finding new tools and knowledge than crime cases and crime solving. Police is working for human safety reason.
