Inside State Government (Australia) 9/4/2026 News What Canada can teach UK on police reform Chief Jim MacSween of York Regional Police joins Policing TV for a candid outside-in view on UK police reform. With 37 years in policing and experience leading one of Ontario’s largest forces, he reflects on the UK Police Reform White Paper, the idea of a National Police Service, and what it means for neighbourhood policing and public trust. Drawing on the Canadian model – federal RCMP, provincial structures and regional forces like York – MacSween discusses how higher-order crime (terrorism, organised crime, major fraud) can be handled nationally while local services stay focused on the everyday issues that matter to communities. He also touches on amalgamation, consistency of service, and how police governance works in Ontario compared to emerging UK proposals. PolicingTV 9/4/2026 Feature, Interview, Opinion, Video Opinion: How using AI in police work puts the public at risk CANADA: As a part of its body-worn camera program, the RCMP recently completed a pilot project using artificial intelligence (AI) to draft reports. The AI-generated reports are created from audio captured from officers’ body cameras. A report can be drafted in mere seconds. The pilot, which ran for about six months and concluded in January, occurred across eight detachments in B.C. generating nearly 800 reports. Harnessing AI to write police reports is replete with some serious and unresolved concerns and must be immediately discontinued. It isn’t even entirely clear why police need to use AI in the first place.

UK Parliament 8/4/2026 Report Friend and foe: A study on the Dutch intelligence service’s sense-making of AI Artificial intelligence is increasingly discussed and explored within national security practices, offering intelligence agencies new opportunities while raising significant operational, legal, and ethical dilemmas. This article analyzes how professionals (N = 10) working in and around the Dutch intelligence and security domain make sense of artificial intelligence in the multi-agency policing of hybrid threats, while navigating tensions between national security and fundamental rights. Centered analytically on the General Intelligence and Security Service (AIVD), this article draws on qualitative empirical material and document analysis focusing on the AIVD’s role within the contemporary intelligence–policing matrix. The study adopts an abductive, interpretive approach to uncover how artificial intelligence is understood, implemented, and justified in a context of legal constraint and democratic accountability. The findings show that artificial intelligence is interpreted simultaneously as operationally indispensable and inherently risky. Meaning, it enhances analytic precision while also producing uncertainty, bias, and epistemic ambiguity. Practitioners therefore deploy artificial intelligence cautiously, relying on legal safeguards, human oversight, and incremental experimentation to preserve legitimacy. The analysis conceptualizes this ambivalence as a form of artificial intelligence liminality, in which professionals operate between innovation and restraint, efficiency and accountability. The article concludes that sense-making is central to how artificial intelligence acquires meaning and power in intelligence work, shaping both its use and the ethical boundaries that govern it, and discusses future research directions and governance implications.
