Innovative measures adopted by the state’s court system includes mobile apps, such as the profiled ASSET created by UNC-Chapel Hill’s School of Government. The app, a companion to the text Arrest, Search, and Investigation in North Carolina promises to continue the improvement of the state’s law enforcement system, which has had assistance from UNC’s School of Government since the 1920s.
