  • Revolutionizing Digital Forensics: Accelerating Investigations with Intelligent Triage
    Francis DeGiorgio CRO, ADF Solutions

    Traditional digital forensics triage often involves manual, time-consuming processes. Intelligent triage, however, leverages automation and AI to accelerate investigations. This approach enables rapid evidence viewing and classification, swift investigation timelines, and automated analysis, ultimately streamlining workflows and generating comprehensive reports. Organizations adopting intelligent triage can significantly improve their response to security incidents and expedite digital forensic investigations.

  • AI in Law Enforcement: Creating Fair Outcomes and Safer Communities
    Jim Penrose Co-Founder & CEO, Tranquility AI

    AI is already bringing efficiencies to vast sectors of the economy. But when it comes to law enforcement, much of the conversation has revolved around potential downsides such as algorithmic bias and error-prone facial recognition technologies. While these are real issues that must be addressed, the truth is that AI has the potential to make our criminal justice system much fairer and more efficient, and our communities safer. AI is an ideal tool to address a massive, under-appreciated, and all too real threat to the justice system: the inability for law enforcement to make sense of the staggering amount of evidence that's available in the modern world. 90% of crimes today involve a digital component. The explosive growth of text, audio, video, location data, and other information coming off our phones, smart doorbells, surveillance cameras, sensors and IoT devices - not to mention, social media posts - it's real and accelerating daily. In this presentation, we'll show how AI can be employed across a spectrum of settings to quickly visualize and analyze evidence to process cases faster and more accurately.

  • Social Media Trends 2025: Insights for Law Enforcement Agencies
    Zander Iles Strategic Solutions Consultant, Hootsuite

    Marketers in government are switching gears and (finally!) focusing more on content that speaks to what citizens actually care about - which means filling their feeds with more relevant, engaging posts and less promotional ones. And it's paying off, especially when it comes to building trust and credibility. What's their secret? We'll explore key insights from Hootsuite's Social Media Trends Report 2025, focusing on trends uniquely relevant to law enforcement.
