- [Mobile\-First for Modern Policing](https://www.policechiefmagazine.org/mobile-first-for-modern-policing-tpriority/): Law enforcement agencies face growing demands for real\-time decision\-making in increasingly complex environments\. For the Spokane County, Washington, Sheriff’s Office \(SCSO\), meeting those demands required a fundamental shift in how deputies access and use information\.

Serving a population of more than 550,000 across nearly 1,800 square miles of urban, suburban, and rugged rural terrain, SCSO has built a mobile\-first policing model that delivers real\-time intelligence directly to deputies—wherever they are\. At the center of this transformation is a real\-time crime center \(RTCC\) supported by resilient, high\-capacity connectivity and prioritized network access—enabled by T\-Mobile’s 5G network and T\-Priority service for public safety\. The result is a force multiplier that enhances officer safety; accelerates investigations; and enables faster, more informed decisions in dynamic environments\.
- [From Awareness to Action](https://www.policechiefmagazine.org/from-awareness-to-action/): \<span data\-contrast="none"\>On December 4, 2025, the Ottawa Police Service \(OPS\) in Ontario, Canada, marked a significant milestone by hosting its 10th Annual Human Rights Learning Forum\. The theme “From Awareness to Action: Advancing Human Rights and Policing—Collaboration for Safer, More Inclusive Communities” captured both the urgency of the moment and the evolution of policing over the past decade\.\</span\>

\<span data\-contrast="none"\>In a time of growing political polarization, where policing is often framed through extremes, the Forum offered something increasingly rare: a space for constructive, evidence\-based dialogue grounded in shared responsibility\. More than 300 participants—police professionals, community leaders, mental health experts, advocates, public servants, elected officials, and members of the public—gathered with a common understanding: Public safety and human rights are not competing priorities but mutually reinforcing ones\.\</span\>\<span data\-ccp\-props="\{"\> \</span\>
- [DHS Shutdown Continues as Budget Process Moves Forward](https://www.policechiefmagazine.org/dhs-shutdown-continues-budget-process-moves-forward/): The IACP Legislative Update covers the major developments in Congress that could impact policing\. This update provides an overview of the current DHS funding lapse and the President’s DOJ budget\.
- [Technology, Trust, and Taxpayer Dollars](https://www.policechiefmagazine.org/tech-trust-taxpayer-dollars/): Technology now shapes core police work: dispatch and deployment, investigations, supervision, and administrative production \(for example, reports and data capture\)\. Over the last decade, agencies have also faced a structural change in how they pay for software\. Many tools that were once purchased as one\-time “capital” projects are now sold as subscriptions, shifting costs into recurring operating budgets\.

That shift creates a practical problem for police executives: Subscription spending competes directly with staffing, overtime, and other routine operating needs\. The procurement question is no longer only “Does this tool work?” It is also “Does it work well enough, for our problem, to justify a recurring obligation?” This short brief summarizes \(1\) what is changing in police technology costs, \(2\) why evaluation should precede scale\-up, and \(3\) practical budgeting steps that reduce fiscal and governance risk\.
- [Building Governable AI for Public Safety](https://www.policechiefmagazine.org/building-governable-ai-for-public-safety/): Once on the fringe of tech, artificial intelligence \(AI\) has rapidly moved into the public spotlight\. Adoption across global enterprise industries is accelerating at a record pace, as evidenced by the recently released \<em\>PwC Global CEO Survey\</em\>\.\<sup\>1\</sup\> Business leaders herald the technology as a transformative engine for lowering costs, boosting productivity, and unlocking new revenue streams\.

AI integration is also accelerating in the public sector, as agencies implement AI to address the common challenge of managing the growing volume of data with limited resources\. However, this rapid pace of integration often creates a tension between the need for efficiency and the time required to establish comprehensive risk frameworks\.
