CPD takes an aggressive approach to providing its officers with the best technology possible. Wi-Fi laptops in cruisers for computer-aided dispatch, electronic report-writing, and access to online law enforcement databases are as much a part of a CPD officer's equipment as sidearms, handcuffs, shotguns, TASERs, and body armor.

CPD maintains a state-of-the-art Communication center, which also functions as a back-up Comm Center for Pinellas County and has AVL capability. And, unlike many police departments, CPD has its own in-house civilian computer support unit.
