In this highlights video from the Policing TV webinar “AI in Law Enforcement: How Agencies are Improving Investigations, Prioritisation and Response”, held on 30 September for Asia Pacific & META, senior policing leaders discuss how artificial intelligence is already changing investigations and operational policing.
The highlights explore how AI can help process vast datasets, accelerate evidence discovery, analyse CCTV, and support investigators working in increasingly complex digital environments. The panel also stresses the importance of preserving human judgement in critical decisions, protecting legitimacy and public trust, and building AI capability responsibly across police organisations.
Hosted by Al Murray OBE Director, PoliceAI and UK Police Lead for Artificial Intelligence the session brings together :
- Jane Welsh APM Assistant Commissioner Victoria Police, Australia
- John Kilburn Regional Industry Leader – Law Enforcement & Public Safety, EMEA Emerging & Asia Pacific, SAS

Key takeaways
- AI is changing law enforcement faster than many organisations are ready for.
- AI can help investigators work through data volumes that humans could not process alone.
- Video analytics and object identification are already helping police find evidence faster.
- Some policing decisions must remain purely human because of their impact on rights and liberties.
- AI is also creating new threats, including synthetic content and deceptive calls.
- Criminals may adopt new technology faster because they are not constrained by governance or policy.
- Responsible AI requires testing, verification and dialogue with the community.
- Police leaders are encouraged to start building AI capability now, but not at the expense of responsibility.
