Two SLATT/START publications, as detailed below, were approved by BJA, and posted on the SLATT website on January 13, 2025:
• “Trends in Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and Their Implications for Law Enforcement” outlines the evolution of UAVs from recreational and commercial devices to tools increasingly used by malicious actors. It highlights the three most common criminal and terrorist applications of UAVs and discusses key technological advancements that will further enhance their capabilities.
• “Generative Artificial Intelligence in Law Enforcement: A Revolutionary Tool Fraught with Complex Challenges” discusses the transformative potential of Generative AI in law enforcement. It highlights how the technology could revolutionize operations through task automation, large-scale data analysis, and enhanced predictive policing. However, it also emphasizes the substantial ethical, societal, and regulatory concerns that accompany its use, as well as the risk of misuse by criminals. The publication stresses the need for law enforcement to carefully balance the benefits of GenAI with a cautious, risk-aware approach as adoption grows.
