Artificial intelligence is rapidly making its way into law enforcement investigations and this Police1 webinar aims to give investigators, commanders and agency technology decision-makers concrete questions and considerations when evaluating AI tools intended for investigative use. The session contrasts AI systems built for public-safety environments with consumer-grade tools, outlining risks such as data sourcing and privacy exposure, unreliable sourcing and “hallucinations,” policy compliance concerns, and evidentiary challenges that can affect case integrity and courtroom defensibility. It emphasizes the importance of trusted, closed data and traceable outputs versus unverified consumer AI results.

The webinar promotes the Thomson Reuters CLEAR Investigate solution, asserting it can decrease investigative research time by 47% through transparent, trusted content, and explains that access to such tools is limited to authorized, vetted professionals. Featured speakers are Edgar Gallardo (Client Executive, Thomson Reuters; 22 years law enforcement experience across two Chicagoland departments), Michael Murphy (Product Specialist, Thomson Reuters; retired Assistant Chief with 23 years service), and Andrew Pellington (Senior Director of Product Marketing, Thomson Reuters Risk and Fraud). Practical details include session times (2 p.m. ET | 1 p.m. CT | 11 a.m. PT), a note that the live Q&A is for attendees only, and an explicit FCRA-related usage restriction stating the services/data are not consumer reports and may not be used for certain consumer-decisioning purposes.
