Changing Technologies in the New South Wales Police Force have allowed for devices such as Breathalysers (measure blood alcohol levels), Radar Guns (measure the speed of traffic), and Taser's (assist in stopping crime by using electrical currents) to be used in policing, which are all used in association with making the community a safer place for the community.
Emerging technologies have allowed police surveillance technology, recognition technologies, and technologies that allow them to tackle the cyber environment, all of which make their job a little easier to fight crime and make society a safer, crime-free place. Changing technologies have allowed for more job opportunities within the force that were not thought of a few years ago; this includes areas of the force such as the Police Rescue and Bomb Disposal, Forensics and Surveillance.
The New South Wales Police force has also formerly embarked on using new digital technology to help prevent and solve crime, with its Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Flickr Sites. According to the force, smartphone and tablet users currently account for 22 per cent of all visits to the NSWPF website. The new mobile version of the website condenses the most popular sections into a small number of easy-to-navigate pages including: contact police, find a police station, news, recruitment, police videos and other police sites. Commissioner of the NSW Police Force, Andrew Scipione, said the new website is another example of how the organisation is moving with the times and embracing emerging technology to reach out to the community it serves.
