Law enforcement suicide is a national crisis.

Research by @Dan_S_Lawrence, Jessica Dockstader, & @kepadil breaks down 977 officer deaths by suicide in the U.S. (2016–2022) and shows where, and among whom, the risk is highest. 🧵(1/4)

Great to see this research published. A growing body of evidence supporting video response...

[Matt Ashby @LessCrime]

👀 Police (🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿) following up crime reports via video call rather than dispatching officers to see the victim in person led to better evidence collection and substantially higher victim satisfaction, while being 2/3rds cheaper.

An #ArtificialIntelligence-powered knife database, created through a collaboration between the Metropolitan Police and Surrey University, is enabling officers to match dangerous weapons using images taken in often dark and difficult conditions; a dashboard explaining how the knife recognition system works could soon be rolled out nationwide, as the Office of the Police Chief Scientific Adviser reports.
