New AI technology to help identify stalking

AN ARTIFICIAL intelligence (AI) capability is being developed in Cheshire, enabling complex stalking behaviours to be identified at an early stage.

This is as a result of a successful £300,000 bid to the Police STAR (Science, ‘Technology, Analysis and Research) Fund, made by Dan Price, Cheshire Police and Crime Commissioner.

Mr Price said: “It’s vital that the Constabulary adopts technology and uses it to help tackle crime. Modernising Cheshire Police is one of my key pillars in my Police and Crime Plan. I am making important strategic decisions to ensure technology is embraced by the Constabulary.

“If this programme is proven to work here in Cheshire, we're hoping it will be adopted nationally by other forces, to help victims all over the country, increasing public confidence in the police.”
