In this edition of World Policing Weekly, Bernard Rix and Ian Wiggett are joined by former police officer and academic Paul Ford to discuss some of the biggest issues currently shaping policing. The programme opens with the formal appointment of Al Murray as Director of Police AI and explores what that means for the future of artificial intelligence in UK policing — particularly around legitimacy, governance, training, accreditation and the importance of keeping humans in the loop. 

The discussion also looks at international investment in policing technology, the continued debate around police reform and possible force mergers in England and Wales, recruitment challenges in Victoria Police, and the difficulties of introducing major structural change while officers and staff remain uncertain about the future. Along the way, the programme features clips from recent Policing TV interviews with Brendan Hook and Alex Franklin-Smith and previews upcoming museum content.

In this edition of World Policing Weekly, Bernard Rix is joined by Ian Wiggett and Eddie Reyes to discuss some of the biggest policing issues emerging across the UK, United States and beyond. The programme opens with the challenge of AI governance, including concerns that many law enforcement agencies are adopting AI faster than they are building the policies, training and safeguards needed to use it responsibly.

The discussion also looks at the rise of e-scooters and e-bikes, large-scale mobile phone theft, drones as first responders, real-time crime centres and how technology is changing frontline policing. Along the way, the panel reflects on international policing practice, the need to break down information silos and even the potential value of a DNA database for dogs as an investigative tool.

In this edition of World Policing Weekly, Bernard Rix and Ian Wiggett are joined by former US police leader Eddie Reyes for a wide-ranging discussion on policing technology, leadership and public safety. The episode explores the growing use of AI in emergency call handling, the risks of relying too heavily on automated systems, and why human judgement still matters when police are dealing with non-emergency calls, major incidents and criminal justice decisions.

The conversation also looks at National Guard deployments in Washington DC, police recruitment and retention, the importance of exit interviews, and the growing pressures facing police leaders in Canada, the UK and beyond. Across the episode, one theme keeps returning: technology and reform can improve policing, but only when they are backed by strong leadership, proper safeguards and a clear understanding of the people using them.

In this edition of World Policing Weekly, Bernard Rix and Ian Wiggett look at another varied week in policing, from a critical cultural review of New South Wales Police to the growing use — and risks — of facial recognition and AI. The discussion also explores how artificial intelligence could support police call handlers, why human judgement still matters, and what a small Florida town’s decision to dissolve its police department says about the wider debate over policing structures and costs.

The episode then turns to police leadership and accountability in England and Wales, with chief constables becoming increasingly vocal on major political and criminal justice issues. With police reform gathering pace and the possibility of reducing the number of forces from 43 to around a dozen, Bernard and Ian consider what that could mean for the future influence of chief constables, local accountability and even the future of the City of London Police.

Key takeaways
A major review of New South Wales Police has identified serious concerns around bullying, discrimination and toxic workplace culture.
Facial recognition can help tackle retail crime, but recent mistakes show how important human oversight remains.
Research into police call handling suggests AI should support experienced staff rather than replace their judgement.
A small Florida town is dissolving its police department because of budget pressures and relying instead on the county sheriff.
The case highlights a wider international debate about whether small police forces can remain financially and operationally sustainable.
Chief constables in England and Wales appear increasingly willing to speak publicly on major criminal justice and political issues.
Possible police force mergers could create a much smaller group of far more visible and influential chief constables.
The future of smaller forces, including the City of London Police, could become a major issue as police reform develops.

In this edition of World Policing Weekly, Bernard Rix and Ian Wiggett explore another broad mix of international policing developments, from AI-powered training and rural policing pressures in Scotland to social media intelligence, public order, police innovation and officer wellbeing. A recurring theme is the gap between what technology can now do and how quickly policing systems, structures and procurement processes can actually adapt.

The episode also looks at mobile policing units in Trinidad and Tobago, the increasing challenge of online organisation around disorder, and the frustration smaller technology companies face when trying to bring practical innovation into policing. Later, the discussion turns to officer mental health support in Queensland and the Police Unity Tour, before closing on the deeply emotive issue of the early release of those convicted in connection with the death of PC Andrew Harper.
