How To Integrate AI Into The Police Force

It’s no surprise that a significant part of our lives is dependent on our smartphones. From your current location to your sleep habits and interests, everything is saved on the cloud.



Since our lives are so intertwined with our electronic devices, the possibilities for leveraging are endless these advancements in law enforcement are endless.

Recently, a husband who falsely accused a masked intruder of the murder of his wife was found lying because of his wife’s Fitbit. As more evidence was gathered from their home security system and social media activity, solving the case was made possible. So it’s safe to say that technology has the power to give us a strategic advantage over criminals.

Let’s take a look at how the police force can use this to their advantage:

Facial Recognition

This technology was first introduced in the 1960s; however, much of the process was manual and slow. Nowadays, thanks to artificial intelligence, sifting through an extensive database to match face IDs has never been easier!

The police force can use Live Facial Recognition (LFR) to identify and locate a person in real-time. Using LFR in crowded public spaces can help scan hundreds of people rapidly to identify an offender on the run. In these instances, the AI takes pictures of similar-looking individuals and leaves it up to the police to conclude whether it’s a match. This helps narrow in on suspects without wasting too much time.

Surveillance Drones

 Drones have long been used to assist law enforcement officials, covering a bird's eye view of an area. Using this technology for the benefit of the police force can be incredibly easy.



When surveying crime scenes, it might get difficult for the police to access certain areas for investigation. A drone could easily make its way into hard to reach areas to take high definition pictures and video footage in those circumstances. Additionally, during a high-speed chase, drones can keep an eye on the suspect and have video evidence of the incident.

Bomb Disposal Robot

Every day, police officers risk their lives when they respond to crisis calls. However, it’s the department's responsibility to ensure their employees are kept safe wherever possible. There are many instances where a robot can do the job designed for a human to keep them out of harm's way.

Recently, a bomb disposal robot in Hong Kong helped destroy a bomb which could have injured hundreds of people. Robots can be programmed to carry out complicated technical tasks, such as bomb disposal, without the risk of injury to life. They can also be sent into high-risk areas without concern and have a better chance of stabilizing the situation.  

The police department's future looks very high-tech, and it can only prosper with the best and most enthusiastic workforce. If you would like to join the police academy, you have to do well on the Suffolk Police Test.
