From Hype to Help: Using AI in Public Safety Settings

Move Beyond the Buzz. Focus on What Matters.

Artificial Intelligence is transforming industries around the globe—but for public safety, the conversation often feels like more buzz than substance. This free, live webinar brings together public safety experts from Kaseware and Microsoft to tackle the topic head-on.

Join us for a no-fluff, real-world discussion about what AI can actually do for public safety agencies, and how it can be implemented ethically, securely, and effectively.

What You’ll Learn:

  • What’s Practical, What’s Not: Get past the jargon and understand which AI tools are mission-critical—and which are just noise or far from a practical application.
  • Actionable Use Cases: Discover how agencies are leveraging AI for investigative workflows, digital forensics, crime pattern detection, and more.
  • Live examples of OSINT collection techniques, from social media to the dark web, and how they’re being used to uncover threats and critical leads.
  • Getting Started with AI: Learn what foundational steps your agency needs to take—from data preparation to policy alignment—to begin using AI responsibly.
  • Governance and Compliance: Navigate complex considerations like CJIS compliance, cross-border regulation, and cybersecurity when adopting AI.
