Artificial intelligence is already changing policing. From report writing and investigations to digital evidence analysis and emerging criminal threats, AI tools are influencing how agencies operate every day. Whether your agency has formally adopted AI or not, your officers are already encountering it.
In this on-demand discussion, Christian Quinn, retired Fairfax County Police Department Deputy Chief and a nationally recognized expert on public safety technology policy, explores the opportunities, risks and realities of AI in law enforcement.
This session moves beyond the hype to examine what law enforcement leaders need to know now to make informed decisions about AI adoption, oversight and policy development. Quinn addresses the practical questions agencies are already facing, including AI-assisted report writing, criminal use of AI, inaccurate outputs, investigative applications, liability concerns and the safeguards agencies should consider today.
Watch this webinar to better understand:
- Should agencies allow AI-assisted report writing?
- How are criminals using AI to evade detection or commit crimes?
- What happens when AI produces inaccurate information?
- Can AI improve investigations without increasing liability?
- What policies and safeguards should agencies implement today?
