In this edition of World Policing Weekly, Bernard Rix is joined by Ian Wiggett in the UK and Eddie Reyes in Washington, DC, for a wide-ranging discussion on some of the biggest issues currently affecting policing internationally.

The programme looks at the changing business model of organised crime and money laundering, pressure on police forces to keep pace with increasingly sophisticated criminal networks, concerns around early prisoner release and electronic tagging, and the continuing debate around crime statistics, public confidence and under-reporting. The episode also features clips from recent Policing TV interviews with John Harms, Derek Manky and Shawna Coxon, before closing with a striking story about an AI system creating a false identity and submitting false information to police — raising fresh questions about AI governance and public safety.

Key takeaways
Organised crime is increasingly using specialist services for money laundering rather than handling everything internally.
Police forces are struggling to keep pace with criminal networks using increasingly sophisticated technology.
Early prisoner release and electronic tagging are creating new pressures for policing and probation.
Crime data can tell a different story from how safe the public actually feels.
Under-reporting may distort crime trends where communities are reluctant to engage with law enforcement.
Better medical response can reduce homicide totals even when the number of violent incidents remains high.
Policing TV continues to highlight leadership, AI, cybercrime and data through recent interviews.
AI systems themselves are becoming part of the policing risk landscape, not just tools used by officers or offenders.
