The report “Navigating No-Man’s Land” highlights seven urgent challenges for Dutch police in using data and AI. It calls for updated data laws, an ethical-legal innovation framework, and clear rules for public-private cooperation. Stronger governance and mandatory data/AI literacy are seen as essential. The council urges focus on applications that build citizen trust, not just enforcement. Predictive policing at the individual level should be avoided to maintain legitimacy.
