The AI Agenda for Leaders: Responsible AI in Public Safety

Artificial intelligence is already finding its way into public safety operations, whether through capabilities embedded in existing technology or personnel experimenting with AI tools on their own.

For agency leaders, the question is no longer whether AI is coming. It’s where it belongs, how much authority it should have, and what safeguards should be in place.

Join Chief Chris Settle of Culpeper Police Department, former Chiefs J.T. Manoushagian and Doug Shoemaker, and retired Deputy Chief Evan Kunert for a candid conversation about responsible AI in public safety. Drawing on decades of command experience, they’ll cut through the hype to examine where AI can create meaningful value, where agencies should proceed with caution, and what leaders need to consider around governance, policy, transparency, risk, and human accountability.

What you’ll take away:

• A practical framework for deciding where AI belongs in your organization

• Real examples of how AI is supporting public safety workflows today

• Questions to ask before adopting or expanding AI-enabled capabilities

• Considerations for governance, risk, transparency, and human accountability

Every attendee will receive The Public Safety Leader’s AI Agenda: Seven AI Decisions Agency Leaders Must Own, a leadership brief co-authored by the presenters.
