Blue Line (Canada) 4/8/2020 News Autonomous Road Vehicles and Law Enforcement Identifying High-Priority Needs for Law Enforcement Interactions With Autonomous Vehicles Within the Next Five Years RAND Corporation 4/8/2020 Report Improving the Accuracy of Firearm Identification in A Dynamic Use of Force Scenario Law enforcement officers are sometimes required to make split-second use of force decisions. One factor that can impact their decision-making process is the presence of a weapon. This experiment sought to improve the speed and accuracy of weapon identification in a dynamic use of force scenario through the principles of deliberate practice. This research utilized randomized control trial with random assignment to either a control or test condition. Eighty-seven participants completed the pretest, intervention, and posttest. Participants’ vision was recorded via a mobile vision-tracker. With only 20 minutes of training, the test group made 1/3 the amount of decision errors as the control group (Cohen’s d = 0.95). The test group was about 16% faster than the control group at visually finding the object in the suspect’s hand and determining if it was a gun or not (Cohen’s d = 0.91). Police Quarterly 4/8/2020 Research article The ‘Uberization of Policing’? How Police Negotiate and Operationalise Predictive Policing Technology Predictive policing generally refers to police work that utilises strategies, algorithmic technologies, and big data to generate near-future predictions about the people and places deemed likely to be involved in or experience crime. Claimed benefits of predictive policing centre on the technology’s ability to enable pre-emptive police work by automating police decisions. The goal is that officers will rely on computer software and smartphone applications to instruct them about where and who to police just as Uber drivers rely on similar technologies to instruct them about where to pick up passengers. Unfortunately, little is known about the experiences of the in-field users of predictive technologies. This article helps fill this gap by addressing the under researched area of how police officers engage with predictive technologies. As such, data is presented that outlines the findings of a qualitative study with UK police organisations involved in designing and trialing predictive policing software. Research findings show that many police officers have a detailed awareness of the limitations of predictive technologies, specifically those brought about by errors and biases in input data.

Policing Insight - Subscription at source 4/8/2020 Feature, Opinion “911 What’s Your Emergency?”: Deception in 911 Homicide and Suicide Staged As Homicide Calls Emergency 911 calls are often the first indication a homicide occurred and serve as initial witness statements in an investigation.
