I'm looking for resources on the Web or which may be found in a public library, for educating myself on the various types of speed monitoring devices used by law enforcement.

OK, a bunch of links to choose from below. Check the first one -- while it is about Europe, it does cover some things that, of course, we also use in America. Europe seems to be ahead of us in a few things, though. Safety cameras? Cool! The rest are just places to check up on things mentioned in the article or other stuff stumbled across along the way. Enjoy!!

they use radar guns, planes that time from a marked line to another to get speeds. they use signs that monitor speeds showing the speed of the car along with camera shots of the plates to send a ticket.

Hand-held or auto-mounted radar guns.
VASCAR (timing the duration between two marked points on the ground)
That's about it, except for good ol' estimation.
