Police Department

1. Illegally 3D Printed Weapons

   • Police have no means to track or trace back weapons illegally printed
   • Weapons can easily be concealed and missed by metal detectors
   • A new division may be needed to log and track 3D printed weapons recovered

2. Predictive Policing

   • Third party software will be used to determine where crimes may occur, which the public may find intrusive
   • Public may consider some aspects of this to be racially motivated.
   • Putting Officers in troublesome areas may leave other areas un-patrolled, potentially leading to more officers needing to be hired.

3. Blockchain/Cryptocurrency

   • New equipment may need to be purchased to render and disect blockchain ledgers while investigating internet crimes
   • Public employees specializing in technology services may supplement staff to conduct investigations
   • Drug transactions may never need to be conducted in person again. Utilizing postal services and cryptocurrencies may eliminate hand-to-hand deals.

4. Drone Enforcement

   • Quicker results for search and rescue, not so reliant on K9
   • Public may interpret drones as a way for the government to spy on them
   • Could create new aviation division within a department

5. Hot Spots Policing

   • Focusing officers in hot-spots may reduce the number officers needed to patrol
   • Deterrence of crimes leads to better overall public outlook on Police.
   • Citizens can check and see if they live in or near a Hot Spot
