Derbyshire police officer investigated for using AI to 'create evidence' in multiple cases

The force is reviewing potentially affected cases as the officer remains off frontline duty and prosecutors work with police on the early-stage probe.

  • Derbyshire Constabulary has removed one officer from frontline duty while investigating allegations they used artificial intelligence to create evidence in a number of cases involving potential perversion of the course of justice.
  • Working closely with the Crown Prosecution Service , Derbyshire Police is engaging with defense teams and courts to identify potentially impacted cases, though the investigation remains in its early stages with the officer currently unnamed.
  • Despite the force allowing artificial intelligence for approved tasks like document redaction, the National Police Chiefs Council previously advised forces to stop using such technology for court statements because systems might not be reliable enough.
  • Interim Director Alex Murray stated the Government this week launched a new National Centre for AI in Policing to oversee responsible technology adoption, emphasizing that policing must utilize these tools transparently to improve efficiency and maintain public trust.
  • Officials maintain that artificial intelligence remains a vital component for delivering the best possible service to the public, while Derbyshire Police continues to keep its use of such tools under constant review in an ethical and proportionate manner.
