France’s Interministerial Digital Directorate (DINUM) has instructed ministries to prepare plans to reduce reliance on non-European digital technologies. The scope is broad: operating systems, collaboration tools, cloud infrastructure, and AI platforms.
AI systems used in policing sometimes fabricate. Generative systems can invent facts, compress uncertainty into false confidence, or complete patterns that are not there.
The answer, right now, is mostly not the police. Technology governance in law enforcement is now being shaped continuously across legislatures, courts, regulatory bodies, and the private sector.
There is a category of risk to police data that is already relevant, leaves no immediate trace, and may only become visible when mitigation is no longer possible. It does not require a breach or a system compromise.
DFR (Drone-as-First-Responder) systems are rapidly expanding and delivering clear gains in response times, officer safety, and de-escalation. But their autonomous surveillance use creates significant governance challenges for police agencies.
Policing is about sharing information. I remember starting every shift by reading all the recent incident reports, and if those of adjacent forces had been available, I would have read them too.
Who is shaping the debate on police technology, and from what distance? The recently published report, Selling Safety: A Journalist’s Guide to Covering Police Technology, produced by the Electronic Frontier Foundation, the Centre for Just Journalism, and IPVM, …
The previous article argued that technology is not reform. It is just the infrastructure that makes reform operationally possible.
The current UK policing reform is, by some, described through its digital ambitions. Artificial intelligence, data integration, and national systems.
Large police organisations are no strangers to critical reviews of their information provision. Many have commissioned them themselves, repeatedly, over the past three decades.
France’s Interministerial Digital Directorate (DINUM) has instructed ministries to prepare plans to reduce reliance on non-European digital technologies. The scope is broad: operating systems, collaboration tools, cloud infrastructure, and AI platforms. DINUM itself will act as a pilot.
AI systems used in policing sometimes fabricate. Generative systems can invent facts, compress uncertainty into false confidence, or complete patterns that are not there. But that is not the only problem, and in many operational settings it is not the …
The answer, right now, is mostly not the police. Technology governance in law enforcement is now being shaped continuously across legislatures, courts, regulatory bodies, and the private sector. The pace has increased sharply and has crossed a threshold.

The previous article argued that technology is not reform. It is just the infrastructure that makes reform operationally possible. That distinction matters because it leads to a harder question: what or who determines whether it actually succeeds?
The current UK policing reform is, by some, described through its digital ambitions. Artificial intelligence, data integration, and national systems. Those elements tend to dominate the conversation, partly because they sound tangible and partly because they are easier to explain …
Large police organisations are no strangers to critical reviews of their information provision. Many have commissioned them themselves, repeatedly, over the past three decades. The conclusions, by now, are familiar to the point of predictability.
