Artificial Intelligence Essentials

Artificial Intelligence is rapidly reshaping modern policing, jail operations, and investigative work. This practical, zero-nonsense class shows officers and analysts how to use AI safely, legally, and effectively. Attendees learn how to protect CJIS and PII data, build workable policy, and apply AI directly to the tasks that matter: reports, intelligence briefs, shift summaries, and real investigative leads. 

No jargon. No tech background required. Just clear skills your agency can put to work immediately. 

• Learn how AI actually works, what it can do, and where its limits are.
   
• Understand proper handling of CJIS, PII, and sensitive data, as well as safe tool selection.
   
• See how agency-approved enterprise systems protect information and reduce risk.
   
• Use AI to write faster and cleaner reports with simple, repeatable workflows.
   
• Apply AI to OSINT, intelligence summaries, lead development, and gang-related research.
   
• Build workable agency policies that help leadership feel confident moving forward.
   
• Practice real-world scenarios, including jail intelligence, field reports, shift briefs, and case support.

Police officers, jail staff, gang unit personnel, analysts, investigators, supervisors, training staff, and anyone responsible for reports, intelligence gathering, or operational decision-making.

Gangs are adapting fast, and investigators need tools that move faster than the problem. This class shows gang investigators, analysts, and corrections intelligence staff how to use AI to analyze identifiers, accelerate intelligence production, and track gang activity across social media, jail communications, and open-source platforms. The course focuses on real-world utility, not theory: how to turn raw information into leads, connections, and actionable intelligence while staying inside CJIS, PII, and agency policy requirements.

No fluff. No tech jargon. Just hard-edged, operational training built for the gang world.

•  Learn how AI interprets slang, symbols, hand signs, and identifiers used by street and prison gangs.
   
• Understand the right and wrong ways to handle CJIS, PII, jail intel, and sensitive gang data.
   
• Use AI to rapidly clean, summarize, and reorganize field notes, jail calls, social posts, and surveillance observations.
   
• Run structured OSINT workflows targeting gang sets, crews, affiliates, leadership tiers, and online recruitment.
   
• Map relationships, trends, and indicators inside gang networks in minutes instead of hours.
   
• Build agency-approved AI policies that protect investigators while allowing effective intelligence work.
   
• Practice real-world case scenarios involving gang beefs, jail politics, street-to-jail crossovers, threats, and developing leads.

Gang investigators, jail intelligence officers, street-crime units, violent-crime detectives, analysts, gang task forces, and anyone working with gang intelligence or threat assessment.
