AI Police Reports and Machine-Generated Evidence: What Civilian Oversight Needs to Know

Wednesday, July 22, 2026
2:30 - 3:30 pm EDT - Webinar
3:30 - 4:00 pm EDT - Optional Post-webinar Discussion (Only those who attend the live webinar will be able to join the discussion.)

This webinar will address issues relevant to both police and custodial oversight, and any civilian oversight function that involves reviewing law enforcement records, incident reports, or use-of-force documentation.

Law enforcement agencies are increasingly using AI-assisted tools to draft incident reports, generate use-of-force narratives, predict risk, and produce records that are entering oversight investigations, administrative proceedings, and courtrooms. This webinar examines what civilian oversight practitioners need to understand about how these tools work, what they get wrong, and how to evaluate the records they produce. Attendees will leave with a practical framework for evaluating AI-involved records and a set of concrete investigative questions to apply in their own work.

Speaker: Robert Thies, Senior Investigator, Federal Public Defender's Office, Eastern District of Missouri
