With its ability to analyze large amounts of data quickly, automate routine tasks and provide real-time insights, AI is helping officers become more efficient, responsive, and effective.
So how can your agency take advantage of Artificial Intelligence now? Here are a few practical ways to get started:
1. Report Writing
One of the most time-consuming tasks for officers is report writing. AI can now help speed up this process by helping officers avoid common errors and improve report clarity:
- AI features like 365 AI Assist in 365 RMS can check grammar & spelling, flag missing information, suggest corrections, and ensure reports meet the required standards.
- Smart auto-fill functionality can automatically populate fields with information you’ve used before, like suspect details or location details.
- Instead of typing, you can use AI-powered transcription by speaking into your phone or laptop microphone, and your words will be transcribed into text.
2. Evidence Management
With the mountains of digital evidence agencies have to manage, AI can simplify review and redaction, saving time and freeing up resources:
- DEMS with built-in AI-powered redaction can automatically detect and redact faces from every frame of video footage with just a click. What used to require hours of work is now done in seconds.
- Smart retention settings can be applied to different types of evidence based on agency and/or regulatory policy. This removes the time-consuming task of manually purging evidence and reduces the risk of accidentally deleting files.
- Bodycams with built-in AI features can even help improve evidence capture. Voice commands, foot pursuit & gunshot detection can automatically trigger cameras to begin recording so that critical moments are captured.
3. Dispatching
AI is like having an extra brain in the dispatch center. It processes large amounts of information in seconds, allowing dispatchers to make better decisions in less time:
- When a 911 call comes in, AI can quickly analyze the information and provide instant response plan recommendations based on the incident type, urgency and location.
- Smart features, like Velocity in 365Labs CAD, can proactively alert units to prepare in real time prior to being dispatched.
- AI can also track the status and location of units, predict which ones will be needed where, and even suggest optimal routes for response.
4. Jail Management
AI can be used to enhance safety and efficiency in Correctional facilities which often face unique challenges in identification, security and monitoring:
- Mobile JMS apps with Facial Recognition allow corrections officers to snap a photo of an inmate to confirm their identity before a move or transfer. Facial recognition adds an extra layer of security to ID cards or wristbands, which have the potential to be altered or swapped between inmates.
- AI Verify, an advanced verification tool, matches against millions of data points to verify an inmate’s identity with an instant 3D scan. This technology is more accurate than fingerprint, iris and facial recognition and especially useful in release procedures where precision is crucial.
5. Analysis & Intelligence
AI is especially useful for processing lots of complex information quickly, generating insights that make it easier to understand and act on the information:
- Using data from CAD & RMS, AI-powered analytics can identify trends, hotspots, and patterns in criminal activity, allowing agencies to develop proactive strategies that can deter further crimes.
- Investigative case management systems with AI-powered link analysis can automatically create diagrams showing connections between suspects, witnesses, and incidents, helping investigators uncover hidden relationships and solve cases faster.
By automating routine tasks, improving decision-making, and enabling faster responses, AI is helping officers focus on what matters most: keeping communities safe.
