From a technological perspective, looking forward PAST ten years. What challenges do you see for public safety and public safety leaders?

Describe how public safety leadership must change and adapt to effectively and appropriately address these future challenges. Potential topics to consider in public safety; exponential technology advancements that benefit criminal activity, common use of police body and street cameras, identity theft, hacking, facial recognition, armed drones, jamming and disabling communications technology, deployed IEDs or dirty bombs, robotic crimes, social media driven public unrest, public concealed and open carry firearms, and personal information accessibility.

This is definitely and interesting subject. Looking forward into the future, I think one of the biggest challenges will be training personnel. Lets face it, technology is here and becoming more advanced on a daily basis. The reason i bring up recruitment and retention is this. The youth of today are more reliant and knowledgeable regarding technology than previous generations. The youth of today bring a different skill set than previous generations. Public Safety does use technology but is still reliant on good old fashion hands on.
Lets use the example of a fire department responding to a structure fire. A call comes in over the PA system in the station. The address is uploaded onto you on board computer and someone physically drives the pumper to the address. Other than your radios and thermal imaging cameras every other tool requires physical intervention. A hose needs to be pulled, a hydrant has to caught, ladders have to be extended, halligans and axes are carried by hand etc etc. How do you convince youth to set aside their technology to make usually less than everyone else and expect them risk their lives. Some of these kids are making hundreds of thousands of dollars playing video games. That is why I say it will be challenging to recruit and retain qualified personnel in public safety.
Like I mentioned, today's generation does bring a set of skills other generations didn't have but we are also loosing a lot of skills older generations had. That is what I think is one of the largest threat to public safety in the next 10 years.

I think with looking to the future of public safety leadership is going to be the development of technology that the new generation will pick up quickly due to their familiarity with technology compared to older people. This can lead to leadership problems because they might not be experts on new methods and technology to get the job done. This can lead to a leader being out of touch with the future of the job and not being able to lead effectively. It will cause problems Among the subordinates and possibly lead to senior leaders to be phased out.
