In this third and final conversation with Davidhorn CEO Børge Hansen, the focus turns to the future — both for policing technology more broadly and for Davidhorn itself. Børge makes a clear case that AI should support policing, not replace it, and argues that in a field so closely tied to safety, trust and human judgment, technology must remain a tool rather than the decision-maker.
The interview also explores how that future should be shaped. Børge says progress will depend on police, public institutions and vendors working together, with strong guardrails and ethics in place. He also confirms that Davidhorn sees its mission as global, combining commercial ambition with a wider goal of helping build better investigative practice and stronger institutions around the world.
Key takeaways
- Børge Hansen says policing should not look to technology as a “doomsday machine” that replaces people.
- A major theme is that AI should help officers focus on what matters, not take over human responsibility.
- He argues that statements, reports and investigative decisions must still be owned by the person who signs them off.
- Børge says the future of AI in policing should be developed jointly by vendors, police and public institutions.
- The conversation stresses that individual officers do not need to understand every technology in detail if forces build the right workflows around them.
- Davidhorn wants tools to fit police workflows rather than forcing officers to jump between disconnected systems.
- Børge confirms Davidhorn has global ambitions, with interest and activity reaching beyond Europe into regions like Southeast Asia and the Caribbean.
- The overall message is that the future of police tech must stay human-led, ethically grounded and globally relevant.
