Technical Communication Methods and Practices The field of Criminal Justice has many different opportunities to develop good communications skills. There has not always been a direct communication between officers and the dispatch center; there is a long list of inventions, throughout history. In 1876 Alexander Graham Bell, invented the telephone, in 1921 the Detroit Police department began experimenting with a one-way vehicle mobile service. In 1933, Bayonne New Jersey Police department used regular two-way communications with its patrol cars. In 1971, Richard Frenkiel and Joel Engel of AT&T applied computers and electronics to make commercial photo, phone service work (telephone history). Now in the year 2011, we have an abundance of technological tools to help in the law enforcement system. It is important to know the tools and the current technology that are available to use while communicating with dispatch, and the tools and current technology that dispatch will use to communicate in return. The importance of communicating properly in the field of Criminal Justice, a person needs to know the proper protocol of tone, codes and always remember respect for the individual. The current technological tools that enable officers to get information for their own area of jurisdiction, such as demographics of the area of which they work this are an important tool. This tool helps the officers know the area that they may be going into, and are more aware of the gang presence. The future technologies that are being developed to enhance the communications for interviews or interrogation are on the rise a well.
