Welcome to the Tech-Ready Policing: Policy Essentials for Emerging Technology training course. Emerging technologies are reshaping policing, but innovation without policy, training, and legal guardrails creates significant operational and constitutional risk. This session examines the foundational questions agencies must answer before deploying new tools, including mission need, privacy expectations, training requirements, legal exposure, and public trust. Participants will examine how the use of trained analysts, seamless data sharing, and proactive community engagement has improved investigative outcomes, increased arrest rates, and strengthened public trust. This course also highlights critical lessons learned, including the importance of investing in human capital and aligning technology with clearly defined investigative processes. Participants will explore core policy components for emerging technologies, including authorized use, prohibitions, reporting, oversight, data security, and training, with focused discussion on issues involving AI, digital surveillance, and evolving constitutional standards. The session is designed to help law enforcement leaders, policy professionals, and accreditation personnel build practical, defensible frameworks before technology “hits the road.”
This course will also focus on areas including:
- Developing implementation plans and clear policies before deploying emerging technologies such as ALPRs, drones, facial recognition systems, surveillance tools, and artificial intelligence.
- Addressing privacy, constitutional limitations, data security, retention, public transparency, and evolving legal requirements associated with technology use.
- Establishing training, supervisory oversight, auditing, accountability, and ongoing policy review to ensure technology is used appropriately and defensibly.
Our training experts recommend this course for all officers, ranks, and command staff.
