Three-Dimensional Policeman: Security, Sovereignty and Volumetric Police Power
Rather than thinking only in terms of flat cartographic surfaces, this article advances current understandings of the political geography of police power by paying close attention to both height and depth in the fabrication and colonization of three-dimensional or volumetric political space. Taking aim at a number of police technologies including the ShotSpotter system which uses highly sensitive microphones to track gunfire and tear gas which weaponizes the atmosphere, our aim is to bring the volumetric to bear in the critique of the police power. After having sketched the volumetric and its implications for contemporary police practices, we conclude the article with some reflections on how recent interventions in speculative realism and new materialism might allow us to see all human and non-human objects as part of policing’s broader volumetric assemblage, thereby revealing the contours of a three-dimensional policeman.
