We live in a world in which borders mean less and less, i.e. in
''a global village'' as it has very often been said. The vast
increase and distribution of computer products has brought about
a number of benefits but also caused a lot of trouble. First of
all there is a problem of gained knowledge becoming obsolete very
quickly: the knowledge gained through traditional education becomes
obsolete due to rapid development of technology and therefore
constant upgrading and professional training is required in order
to keep up with the time. Besides, the computers were introduced
in order to make the jobs easier and resulted in the ''fear''
of the employees from loosing their jobs. Thus, huge resistance
towards computers was built. On the other hand the application
of computers resulted in specific communication methods which
have become essential for everyday communication among people.
Electronic
transfer of data, database communication, digital communications
like electronic mail, net news etc. are offered through world
wide networks like ''Internet'' and international network companies.
''Internet'' is the latest communication medium functioning as
an independent medium like telephone, television and radio.
The communication has an important role in the law enforcement.
Police departments and police officers communicate a lot while
performing their duties. Therefore the communication system has
to be adjusted to their needs. In addition to that, the communication
between the police and the public takes a high position in the
communication hierarchy.
