Abstract

Police accountability and transparency have been long-standing concerns in public administration, as the actions of law enforcement have a significant impact on the lives of citizens. This research focuses on exploring the ways in which police accountability and transparency can be improved, particularly through the use of technology and community engagement. The study begins by examining the current landscape of police accountability and transparency, highlighting the challenges and limitations of traditional methods of oversight. This includes a discussion of the issues related to police misconduct, use of force, and biased policing. The study then turns to exploring potential solutions, including the use of body-worn cameras, data analytics, and community policing strategies. One of the key findings of the research is the importance of community engagement in improving police accountability and transparency. This involves fostering trust between law enforcement and the communities they serve, as well as providing opportunities for citizens to voice their concerns and provide feedback. The study also emphasizes the role of technology in facilitating transparency and accountability, particularly through the use of body-worn cameras and data analytics. Overall, this research contributes to the growing body of literature on police accountability and transparency in public administration. It underscores the need for innovative solutions that leverage technology and community engagement to promote greater trust and transparency between law enforcement and the public.
