A variety of selected topics affecting the role of the police in the 21st Century will be covered in the specialty courses. For example, the impact of 9/11 on traditional paradigms of law enforcement and inter-agency cooperation with state and federal law enforcement and homeland security entities has been enormous. Local law enforcement models of ?traditional? policing have been radically altered; local agencies today play a significantly greater role in the war on terrorism in America. Many municipal law enforcement executives have to deal with critical issues such as civil liberties violations, intelligence and data gathering, radical new technologies, privacy rights, and police organizational and structural changes. Just as significant changes in management, the use of technology and organizational adaptation determine success or failure in the business world, adaptation to a changing environment is also critical to the survival and effectiveness of law enforcement agencies, especially municipal and county agencies. Law enforcement executives must constantly upgrade their knowledge, skills and techniques, and incorporate new technologies and information into their organizations at all levels, from the top down not only to ensure state-of-the-art organizational management but also to effectively respond to emerging new crime patterns. As new technologies and ways of doing business have become available in our society, many criminals have likewise become more sophisticated users of technology, e.g., crimes such as identity theft, credit card billing theft, cyber espionage, online sex crimes, etc. require more advanced skills on behalf of law enforcement agents. Likewise, in addition to new ways of ?policing? in the prevention of crime and the apprehension of criminals, new knowledge and applications in forensic science are essential for law enforcement as they investigate cases and work with other criminal justice professionals in evidence collection for successful prosecution of offenders.
