How should technological devices, specifically involving use of force be implemented into corrections?

What will be an ideal response?


Strategic planning for technological devices, particularly those involved with the use of force, should determine equipment necessary to accomplish tasks that support the agency mission. This part of planning provides the necessary focus and ensures that the efforts of all involved are complementary, not competing or counterproductive. Considering different operational scenarios that illustrate and support required tasks and their relative frequency is one method of identifying potential technology requirements. Most strategic planning involves a review process and feedback loops. Situations change, and assumptions often prove invalid. A review process ensures that the plan is continually “tuned” to adapt to changes in the environment and overcome obstacles. A dynamic strategic planning process enables the exploitation of opportunities and avoids or mitigates emerging threats. Such planning often proves an advantage when opportunities for acquiring new technologies and/or obtaining funding unexpectedly present themselves. The process also ensures both proper consideration of “stakeholder” input (e.g., from the officers in the field and the community) and necessary support of “powerbrokers” (e.g., the governor, the superintendent of corrections, elected officials, the community).
