Notes
"The Use of AI and Other Emerging Technology in Policing (Including LFR)", paper to the London Policing Board Performance, Finance and Delivery Committee on 23 July 2026, describes triage search tools for the Stalking Threat Assessment Centre that include "a machine learning model trained on literature and previous stalking cases" to rate stalking risk and advise officers. It says "These tools currently show a high level of accuracy in identifying cases", with about 90 per cent accuracy in identifying cases with a stalking element; this is the force's own figure and the paper gives no evaluation details. The paper does not name a supplier or start date.
