Community Policing and Citizen Engagement in the Age of AI

How can AI support—not replace—trusted relationships between law enforcement and the communities they serve? This workshop will explore how agencies can use AI tools to strengthen community policing efforts, foster transparency, and support inclusive, participatory approaches to public safety. Topics will include tools for public input, transparency dashboards, sentiment analysis, and models for co-developing AI use cases with community stakeholders. The session will offer practical guidance on building trust, ensuring accountability, and engaging residents in shaping AI-driven practices in policing.
