Technical communication methods In this paper our team will discuss some technical communication methods such as the mobile data terminal, and the automated license plate reader. Through our research we will explain what each communication method is and how it is applied through the daily life of an enforcement type career.
Mobile Data Terminal
Mobile Data Terminal (MDT) is one of the technologies that have been modified throughout these last couple of years. Now the officers can run peoples identities in a matter of seconds when before the officers had to call it in and see what the suspect’s background was like. This is the perfect communication tool that we have because it is connected to other agencies as well. If a suspect decided to run to another state, an officer from a different state would know the …show more content…
Key Benefits for Law Enforcement: Mounted on patrol cars or stationary objects like bridges, they snap photos of every passing car, recording their plate numbers, times, and locations. Increasing the recovery of unpaid fines, number of stolen vehicle and stolen license plates recoveries, number of arrests, and officer safety. Automated license plate reader systems are able to capture up to 1,800 plates per minute at speeds up to 120-160 miles per hour. The equipment range in cost from $10,000 – $22,000, depending on the manufacturer and the specific configuration specified. Law enforcement agencies throughout the United States are increasingly implementing automated license plate reader. Larger agencies are more likely to have implemented automated license plate reader than smaller agencies, most likely the result of the costs of the technology and the relative sizes of the
