DATABASES "COPS Follows Up on the Fuel Costs Challenge" In early September, the COPS Office hosted three conference calls to discuss the impact of fuel costs on law enforcement. The calls were grouped by type of department: large and midsized cities, small and rural communities, and state police agencies. This was followed at the beginning of October by a focus group of 16 departments (including campus, city, county, state, and federal agencies) in the Washington D.C., region that discussed in more detail many of the ideas raised in the conference calls. Together these events collected a wide range of perspectives from the field, which are included in this article. This document is located in the Core Database under document #601407. "The Role of Automatic License Plate Recognition Technology in Policing" The advancement of technology has definitely changed the way people live their lives. Cellular telephones, laptop computers, wireless technology, and digital music players have all affected modern society in ways unimaginable just 15 years ago. The world of policing is no different: automatic license plate recognition technology has the potential to have a huge impact on the future of policing in Canada. More information on this technology can be located in the Core Database under document #601590. NETWORKING Is Your Information Correct? Do we have your most up-to-date contact information?
