Why AI Readiness Matters
Artificial intelligence has the potential to transform public safety more than any other technology in the past century. But with that potential comes risk. Many departments are being pitched AI tools without having a policy or framework in place to evaluate them.
Without guidance, agencies risk legal exposure, operational missteps, or public backlash. Even one negative headline could set your department back years.
We help public safety leaders get ahead of the issue with structure, standards, and strategy.
Services
We help law enforcement agencies prepare for the safe, responsible use of AI through a structured set of advisory services designed specifically for public safety.

FAQ
Who should consider an AI Readiness Audit?
An AI Readiness Audit is right for your public safety agency if you're receiving outreach from AI vendors, exploring new technology without internal standards, considering a pilot program, lacking a formal policy on AI use, or needing support to communicate AI strategy to city leadership and the public.
When is the right time to do an audit?
Before your agency signs a contract, launches a pilot, or fields questions from the media or city council. An audit provides structure and clarity before problems emerge.
How long does the audit take?
Each AI Readiness Audit is completed within 30 days, following a structured process that minimizes time burden on your staff.
Is this only for large agencies?
No. We work with agencies of all sizes, from small municipal departments to state-level organizations. Our process scales to meet your operational complexity.
What makes this different from vendor demos?
We’re not selling AI products. We’re an independent organization focused on helping agencies evaluate and implement AI responsibly, regardless of vendor.
