Some results couldn’t be trusted As UK police embrace the AI revolution, a WIRED investigation reveals the messy inside story of one region’s experiment with predictive analytics. The Think Family Database holds records on close to half a million people who live in the city of Bristol, England. For many years, few of them knew anything about it. Launched in 2016 by the Bristol City Council and the regional Avon and Somerset Police, the database has stored all manner of sensitive information—police intelligence reports, housing status, mental health records, teenage pregnancies, enrollment in parenting courses, free school meals. On top of this sensitive data, officials built machine-learning models to assign scores to thousands of adults and children. They hoped to build what they called a “picture of threat, harm, and risk” in the region.

Policing and Community Safety Authority (PCSA) (Republic of Ireland) 25/6/2026 News Is online/hybrid learning for police recruits effective and accessible and impacting attrition rates of police recruits? Insights from an Australian police academy experience Post-COVID-19, there is an increase in e-learning, synchronous, and hybrid approaches to police recruit education. In parallel, police organisations are experiencing challenges with recruiting and retaining the required workforce levels. This study examines the relationship between the experience of learning to be a police officer through e-learning and/or hybrid education delivery and decisions to disengage from a future police career.
