Thirty years ago, a detective noticed a simple curve in a cut window screen and solved a burglary spree. Today, artificial intelligence scans millions of data points in seconds, detecting patterns no human could ever see. The question is not whether AI will transform policing. It already has. The question is whether we will guide that transformation wisely, ethically, and effectively. In AI in Policing, Sean M. Bair draws on three decades at the intersection of law enforcement and technology. From patrol officer to crime analyst, from building AI systems used worldwide to teaching strategy in the classroom, Bair combines practical experience with visionary insight. This book is not theory. It is a field-tested roadmap for chiefs balancing innovation with accountability, analysts building intelligence from data, officers learning to trust new tools, and community leaders wrestling with the impact of technology on justice. Packed with case studies, strategies, and ethical frameworks, AI in Policing prepares readers to lead in a new era of public safety.
