Law enforcement has changed dramatically over the last decade, and technology is a major reason. This program looks at several cutting-edge systems and devices currently in use by police departments and federal agencies around the country. Some of the crime-fighting technologies featured are fiber-optic surveillance cameras, facial recognition scanners, robotic chassis for bomb disposal, and Shotspotter, a network of acoustic sensors that triangulates the location of gunfire. Among those interviewed is inventor Mike O'Dwyer, whose VLE handgun is the first electronic "smart gun," a pistol that recognizes its owner and can fire lethal and nonlethal rounds.
