We need technology for security (video cameras, metal detectors, X-ray machines and fingerprint entries)

Technology helps law enforcement to maintain order and keep communities safe. Tools such as surveillance cameras and facial recognition allow police to detect crimes quicker and take measures against them faster.

Digital databases shared between the authorities help them to share information and coordinate their actions. It’s easier to make links between cases and to resolve crimes and to put behind bars’ criminals.

Technology builds accountability in society. It’s easier nowadays to trace people and to find evidence if they committed an offense thanks to surveillance systems, digital records, fingerprint entries that allow authorities to track activities and make sure that rules and laws are followed.

Knowing that, people are less likely to commit a crime since they are more likely to get caught.

Thanks to video cameras, everyday people can protect their home from intrusion and theft. Some video surveillance companies monitor homes and contact residents immediately in case of suspicious activity or unusual movement around the house when the residents are not there.

Furthermore, home video surveillance helps create a sense of security for residents. In a country like the United States where gun ownership is legal, this technology can reduce the use of firearms for self-defense.

Technology for security plays an important role in providing evidence in court by capturing and preserving accurate information about events. Surveillance cameras, body cameras, and digital monitoring systems can record incidents in real time, creating reliable proof of what happened.

In addition, data from smartphones, computers, and other devices can be used to track actions, communications, or locations. This evidence helps judges and juries make informed decisions and supports law enforcement in solving cases more effectively.
