A Case Summariser is also being piloted to help officers triage fresh police reports.<\/p>\n<p>Moving forward, the SPF plans to let investigation officers input other evidence and findings, such as witness statements and CCTV footage, into a Summary of Facts generator.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A Case Recommender tool would also look at the evidence uncovered during investigations and assist investigators in deciding on an appropriate course of action for a case.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTaken together, these tools enhance the efficiency as well as the effectiveness of the SPF\u2019s investigations. Not by replacing the judgment of our officers, but really by sharpening it, and freeing up the officers to focus on what only a human officer can do,\u201d said Mr Tong.<\/p>\n<p>Another AI innovation is the Traffic Rule Analysis and Compliance Recognition (TRACER), a video analytics tool to help address traffic offences.<\/p>\n<p>It can automatically identify traffic violations and pinpoint their exact timestamp in video recordings submitted by the public.<\/p>\n<p>Designed with scalability in mind, the capability may also be applied to other types of video footage in future, said the SPF.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Tong on Friday also lauded the police\u2019s efforts in keeping Singapore safe and secure, noting the 25 per cent reduction in scam and cybercrime cases last year, along with the force\u2019s efforts in major events such as the National Day Parade, Formula 1 race and Marina Bay New Year Countdown.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn Singapore, we often take safety and security as a given, whereas in many other parts of the world, it is really not the norm,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is easy to take safety and security for granted here in Singapore, not just because the SPF carries out its mission well year after year, but also because it is always looking ahead to see what is on the horizon, and transforms and adapts accordingly to meet the evolving threat landscape.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.channelnewsasia.com\/singapore\/police-patrol-drones-detection-crimes-emergencies-6134241\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE Also showcased on Friday was the SPF\u2019s integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into its work processes to improve citizen experience and help officers&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":54405,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2611],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-54404","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-buzz-headlines","wpcat-2611-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54404","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=54404"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54404\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/54405"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=54404"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=54404"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=54404"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
