AI in Law Enforcement
AI can streamline police work—but without policies, verification, and effective oversight, it can also create serious evidentiary, operational, and liability risks.

Your agency may already be using AI. Do you have the governance safeguards to use it responsibly?
Artificial intelligence is moving quickly into police report writing, investigations, analytical work, administrative processes, and operational decision support. While these tools offer efficiency and new capabilities, they also raise difficult questions: Who can use them? What information may be entered? Who verifies the output? What records must be preserved? How will the agency explain the technology and its use during discovery, internal review, or litigation?
This practical Shield Thursdays webinar examines five essential AI governance safeguards agencies should put in place before expanding AI use. The focus is not on selling a platform or predicting every technological change. It is on the policies, controls, documentation, and supervision needed to manage risk while preserving accountability and evidentiary integrity.
The central question: Can your agency demonstrate that an AI-assisted work product was authorized, checked by a responsible employee, adequately documented, and handled under an established policy?
Why You Should Attend
Move Beyond Informal AI Use
Identify the governance gaps created when personnel experiment with AI tools before the agency has approved uses and written rules.
Protect Report and Evidence Integrity
Learn why human verification and source checking are necessary before AI-assisted content becomes part of an official record.
Prepare for Discovery and Litigation
Examine practical documentation, retention, auditability, and disclosure considerations associated with AI-assisted work.
Clarify Supervisory Responsibility
Define who approves tools, reviews outputs, investigates errors, and ensures that personnel follow agency requirements.
Improve Technology Procurement
Identify questions agencies should ask about data handling, accuracy, access controls, security, and vendor representations.
Leave With a Practical Resource
Use the attendee-exclusive AI Governance Readiness Checklist to prioritize policy, training, and oversight improvements.
What You Will Learn: Five Essential Safeguards
Policy Development and Approval
How to define authorized and prohibited AI uses, establish approval processes for new tools, set rules for sensitive information, and assign responsibility for policy administration.
- Approved products and acceptable-use limits
- Data privacy, security, and vendor review
- Procedures for pilot programs, updates, and exceptions
Human Oversight and Accountability
Why a trained employee—not the AI system—must remain responsible for professional judgments, factual assertions, and the final official work product.
- Human review and meaningful verification
- Supervisor approval and escalation
- Clear responsibility for errors and corrections
Accuracy, Validation, and Error Prevention
Practical controls for hallucinated facts, inaccurate summaries, bias, omissions, and overreliance on apparently authoritative AI output.
- Testing tools against their intended uses
- Comparing output with original source material
- Documenting known limitations and recurring errors
Discovery, Records, and Audit Trails
How to approach retention, disclosure, and traceability questions when AI influences reports, analyses, and investigative material. Applicable obligations depend on the record, use, jurisdiction, and case.
- Preserving inputs, outputs, and relevant work history when required
- Audit logs and documenting material AI assistance
- Coordinating with prosecutors, records personnel, and counsel
Implementation, Training, and Continuous Review
What it takes to turn a policy into a working governance program, including role-based training, audits, incident reporting, and periodic reassessment.
- Employee and supervisor training
- Monitoring compliance and responding to failures
- Reevaluating tools as capabilities and legal requirements change
Included: AI Governance Readiness Checklist
A practical take-home tool—not just another webinar handout.
Attendees will receive an AI Governance Readiness Checklist designed to support an initial, structured review of their agency's current AI practices. It helps identify who is responsible for each safeguard, what documentation exists, which controls need attention, and where corrective action should begin.
What the Checklist Will Cover
- AI inventory and authorization: What tools are in use, by whom, and for what purposes?
- Written rules and data protection: Are permissible uses, restrictions, sensitive-data controls, and vendor considerations documented?
- Human review: Who verifies AI output against reliable sources and approves its official use?
- Validation and quality assurance: How does the agency identify hallucinations, omissions, errors, and system limitations?
- Records and discovery: Is there a process to identify and preserve potentially relevant inputs, outputs, and logs when required?
- Training and supervision: Have employees and supervisors been trained on risks, limits, approvals, and reporting obligations?
- Corrective-action tracker: Space to assign owners, priorities, due dates, and follow-up for unresolved items.
How to use it: Complete the checklist with your agency's command, training, technology, records, and legal personnel. Mark each item as addressed, needing review, or not yet addressed, then turn outstanding items into an action plan. The checklist is a planning aid, not a certification of legal compliance.
Who Should Attend?
This program is intended for the personnel who approve, use, supervise, manage, or defend AI-assisted law enforcement operations.
Whether your agency is evaluating its first AI product or already using AI-assisted reports and investigative tools, this webinar provides a framework for asking better questions and assigning practical next steps.
