    "legal_basis": "The report says current AI applications, mainly in criminal investigation, follow the Code of Criminal Procedure, and that section 23(6) and (6a) of the NRW Police Act, as amended in the Eighth Amendment, sets the conditions for AI use in threat prevention; it cites section 64 of the Federal Data Protection Act and section 58 of the NRW data protection act for IT procedures.",
    "oversight": "The report says an AI supervisor under the EU AI Act and a governance structure are being set up in the NRW police.",
    "notes": "The NRW Interior Minister's report to the Landtag interior committee (Vorlage 18/4645, letter of 8 December 2025) says that, under the 2025 security package, the police have built an AI infrastructure that is fully under police control, sits on police premises and is operated by the State Office for Central Police Services (LZPD NRW); about 20 million euros were spent on setting it up and annual operating costs are estimated at a low seven-figure sum. It says several AI applications will be introduced across the police step by step, starting with support for daily work such as drafting texts and translation, and that a further application based on a large language model will in future support research in files, letting officers ask questions about texts and case files through a chat window. No vendors or rollout dates are given; the report says sovereignty was considered in choosing components. The same report describes other planned or development work that is not part of this record: a tool to flag AI-generated or AI-edited images and videos, first for the 'Digitale Streife'; a planned application to detect suspicious money flows; the case-analysis project Optimus Crime, described as developed; and a deepfake-detection platform being developed with South Korean police. It also mentions a police AI strategy from 2022, an AI competence network at the LKA since 2023 and the LZPD innovation lab founded in 2022. Recorded as proposed because the report describes the tools as planned, not yet in use.",
