”To help us adapt with the way of the world. From telecommunicating to the web cause to utilizing the very large frame to analyze the data that we receive every day at the police department. At the police department we like to we don’t like to catch up to technology we like to be either at or ahead of the technology advances, you know law enforcement sees every day,” Talamantez said.
