Explain how technology changed the way police officers operated during the reform era of policing.
What will be an ideal response?
Answer may vary. During the political era of policing, officers were limited in their ability to effectively perform due to technological limitations. This changed significantly during the reform era of policing. Automobiles allowed officers to more effectively patrol and increased response time. Two-way radios allowed supervisors to remain in constant contact with officers, and the telephone allowed citizens to contact police at any time.
