The CopDoc Podcast - Episode 150

Artificial intelligence isn't just coming to policing—it's already here, transforming everything from report writing to emergency response. In this forward-looking conversation, Jim Bierman, former Chief of Redlands, California and current president of the Future Policing Institute, delivers a wake-up call for law enforcement leaders about AI's revolutionary impact.
"AI is going to be the most disruptive technology human beings have ever invented—the most disruptive phenomena since humans figured out how to harness fire," Bierman warns. The pace of AI development far outstrips our legislative ability to regulate it or our practitioners' understanding of its capabilities. Yet most police departments lack basic policies or training for officers already using tools like ChatGPT.
Bierman speaks from extensive experience, having led innovation initiatives and later serving as president of the National Police Foundation (now National Policing Institute). He describes how AI applications are already transforming policing—from Everett, Washington's automated call-taking system to drones serving as first responders, providing crucial situational awareness before officers arrive.
The podcast explores how America's 18,000 different law enforcement agencies create a fragmented landscape where knowledge-sharing becomes critical. With ongoing staffing shortages and rising costs, departments must find innovative approaches to maintain service levels. AI offers solutions but requires thoughtful implementation guided by clear policies and training.
Perhaps most compelling is Bierman's challenge to police leaders: "The singular responsibility of police leaders today is to prepare their organizations for an increasingly uncertain future, long after they have left the agency." This requires dedicating time to strategic thinking despite the constant "spot fires" of daily crises.
For anyone in law enforcement leadership, this conversation provides both practical guidance and inspiration to embrace technological change while preserving policing's human dimension.
