My name is Heloise, I am 18 years old and this session will be my third on six in police technology. I choose police technology as my topic because it is my future profession and I think it is very interesting to learn about new vocabulary. I am writing this glossary for people in police technologie or not. My glossary will be open for all who will be interested in the matter. I believe that these words will be able to be useful to you and will help you to better understand the vocabulary related to the police profession. This will add to your general knowledge. In my glossary, there will be ten terms related to police profession. I will use resources like VirtualWritingTutor, Wikipedia, Wikimedia, lextutor, google search, google image and also Larousse dictionary. To find the words I went on Wikipedia and search police, then I select a part of the text and I put it in VirtualWritingTutor to have words that were related to the subject. I get the definition on google search and on the dictionary. Finally, enjoy this glossary and consult it if necessary.
