Write as Well as You Speak: Automatic AI-Powered Writing
Most police officers have an innate ability to project command presence and use dynamic language to manage the situations they encounter. However, documenting those experiences remains a constant challenge, often requiring hours of tedious report writing and time behind a desk. Advances in AI and other technologies can enable better, faster, and more accurate police reports by capturing officers' own words--as well as those of the individuals they encounter--to help build stronger case narratives. With many police agencies struggling to maintain adequate staffing levels, there has never been a greater need to increase productivity among existing personnel. This panel will highlight ways officers can write as effectively as they speak--automatically--greatly improving efficiency and boosting morale.
- Upon completion, attendees will be able to learn how to manage AI consistent with their department's policies, political atmosphere and community expectations.
