- Abstract
This study aims to expose the impact of the law enforcement IT expenditures and utilization on achieving effectiveness in law enforcement organizations. It uses crime clearance rate (percentage of offences cleared by arrest) as an outcome measure for eighth law enforcement agencies of Virginia, USA. By using secondary data from LEMAS and UCR datasets of 2000, it performs statistical analysis. It deduces that there is no significant difference between law enforcement agencies using mobile digital devices and law enforcement agencies not using mobile digital devices; there is no significant relationship between the variables of the mobile digital devices and crime clearance rate; and there is no significant relationship between law enforcement budget and crime clearance rate among Virginian law enforcement agencies.
