Your Impact
This role will help us innovate on the ways officers write reports in the field to how detectives investigate crime. You will create product experiences that bring police reports to life with video at the heart of the record to tell the full story and apply AI to data that can support new strategies for crime solving and prevention. Your work will reduce the amount of time an officer spends staring at a computer screen, populating boxes and filling out forms, and instead ensures they are able to use their time engaging with their communities and actively patrolling.
