Abstract

The Corrections and Law Enforcement Technology Assessment System (CLETAS) is an analytical tool that brings together engineering, economics, operations research, and public policy concepts to help law enforcement officers-and other public safety officials-make technology investment decisions. CLETAS integrates research and data from a variety of sources to facilitate users conducting cost-benefit analyses of technology alternatives and to justify appropriate investments. With CLETAS, criminal justice officials will be able to make rational choices among technology alternatives by using specific measures, such as the dollar cost of crime to a given jurisdiction, efficient use of technology, and technology benefits
