POLICING IN A GLOBAL ENVIRONMENT

Global criminal environment today is complex, borderless and fluid.

With criminal groups active at local, national and international levels,

investigations and operations are increasingly likely to have an

International context.

Transportation systems have improved dramatically, particularly airline and

automobile travel; international tourism and business travel are at record

levels. In 2013, 1.2 billion passengers flew internationally on scheduled

flights.

Communication systems have improved and expanded, most notably

satellite and fiber optic telephone and television transmission, FAX

transmission, and computer information storage, processing, and

transmission.

World trade has expanded.

The population of the World has increased.
