Notes
In the same freedom of information response (reference 2656518/25, October 2025) West Yorkshire Police listed a recruitment shortlisting proof of concept for applicants from Constable to Sergeant, intended to help recruitment staff reduce manual checks on applications, which it described as at the "Early stages of development and assessment". The response gives no supplier or dates. The force said the response covered its use of AI, and that no AI tools or services had been specifically procured.
