Reimagining Policing

Designing a Blueprint for the Digital Future

Reimagining policing structures, technology adoption, and accountability frameworks for the digital age whilst maintaining public trust and consent.

Modern policing exhibits an inherited organizational constraint; while technological systems may enable real-time information sharing and decision-making by front-line officers, institutional structures remain heavily hierarchical, often modelled on military organizations with decision-making power further away from the source of information.

 

This collaboration between LSE Innovation and the United Nations Crime and Justice Research Institute (UNICRI), through its Centre for Artificial Intelligence and Robotics, brings together experts from around the world to review the way police forces operate in society and to consider how they might be reformed to become more effective at policing safe and free societies.

Several position papers will be posted here, the first of which are:

Paper 1: Reimagining Policing: Designing a blueprint for the digital future

Paper 2: Renewing the foundations of consent-based policing

There is also a presentation available here.

You are encouraged to comment on the papers and contribute to the discussion on our enterprise space on the LSE innovation hub and . Please join here
