Sabah police to expand AI, digital policing initiatives
KOTA KINABALU: Sabah Police Commissioner Datuk Jauteh Dikun (pic) outlined the police’s strategic directions and transformation agenda for the year, with a focus on artificial intelligence (AI) and digital transformation, during the monthly Police Commissioner Assembly on Monday.

He said the police would expand the use of smart technologies and AI across investigations, surveillance, intelligence, data management and decision-making to enhance accuracy, efficiency, transparency and service delivery through digitalised work processes, digital forensics and predictive analytics.

Jauteh said comprehensive digitalisation would be implemented throughout investigation and prosecution processes, including case documentation, evidence management and case tracking, to reduce procedural gaps while improving speed and transparency.

He said the police would also formulate and enforce policies governing the ethical and controlled use of AI and big data policing to safeguard privacy, data security, legal compliance and public trust, while strengthening people-oriented, risk-based policing to address organised crime, violent crime, cybercrime, drug-related offences and traffic management through professional investigations and data-driven responses.
