Rapid technological advancement in IT and communication made humans smarter and enhanced the quality of human life. Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR) and Mixed Reality (MR) are examples of such technology which have numerous applications. It is evident that the significantly increased scope of AR, VR and MR since the last decade motivates many sectors in investing in the technology. The Law Enforcement sector is one of them. Although the use and adaptation of AR, VR and MR based technology are in an emerging state for Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs), there is a need for new and innovative solutions to be developed to cater to the emerging challenges of LEAs. This paper reviews different technologies related to AR, VR and MR; and their scope and relevance for the LEAs. The paper also focuses on potential applications of AR, VR and MR technology, with respect to various tasks related to the Law Enforcement Sector. Finally, the future scope and directions of advanced AR, VR and MR based solutions are proposed for Law Enforcement. – Reproduced
