My name is Antoine Larouche, and I'm studying Police Technology at Ahuntsic College, Montreal, Canada. I am beginning my second year out of three in the program. This glossary explains some of the most frequently encountered terms related to Police Technology. As it is a very complex subject, I'm sure this will help with your comprehension! It contains 20 terms, all of which are pronounced, defined, used in a sentence, and more. I thought of the most frequently seen terms by myself. I found all the definitions online. After you finish consulting this glossary, I would like you to send me terms that you think should be added to it.
