Police Officers Perceptions of Crime Analysts

An analysis of Police Officers Perceptions based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAMS) by Dr. Fred Davis (1986; 1989). It is this author's intent that this work be used to identify areas within the law enforcement and public safety community where understanding, acceptance, and integration of the analytical process can be achieved. It is understood that this work may be the starting point for changing the narrative as it relates to law enforcement and the public safety's perspective of emerging technologies and those active in this field; and any criticism regarding the depth of the research are borne solely by this author. Thank you, and be well. ~ Dr. Eugene Matthews
