IOT, Smart Technologies, Smart Policing: The Impact for Rural Communities

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Smart Village Technology

Part of the book series: Modeling and Optimization in Science and Technologies ((MOST,volume 17))

Abstract

Globally policing agencies are scaffolding on the capabilities of the IOT to enhance predictive and responsive approaches to criminal activity in the pursuit of establishing and maintaining safe communities. The availability of a variety of technologies ranging from sophisticated drones, global positioning systems and artificial intelligence programs to more publicly overt systems as body worn cameras and CCTV is increasing the impact of policing initiatives. Whilst the IOT is enabling the collection of ‘big data’ and realising improved policing response to crime through application of a predictive policing model approach—this is only the beginning of the journey in understanding the potential of the IOT to enable smarter policing directions. The following chapter offers insight into the potential application of the IOT and smart technologies to build safe communities. The connectivity between smart technologies, the IOT and smart policing strategies on the future ‘liveability’ quality for rural populations isdiscussed. The chapter offers areas of consideration for the built environment, community safety and the challenge of connecting rural populations as global citizens.
