It says Copilot is not authorised for use in the criminal justice system to create evidential material, including witness statements and MG forms, and that the \"Web Grounding\" function, which sends queries to Bing, has been deactivated. The document gives no licence numbers, contract terms or roll-out date. The two forces share an AI policy.",
