NSCDC boss tasks personnel on AI for crime investigations
The Commandant-General (CG) of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Ahmed Ali, has charged personnel to integrate artificial intelligence (AI) during investigations to improve response time and accuracy.
Mr Audi gave the charge on Wednesday in Abuja at the closing of a two-day workshop themed “Forensic and Artificial Intelligence in the 21st Century.”
Advocating the use of advanced technology to meet global best practices, he said that the use of forensic science and AI remained essential for evidence-based operations, improved accuracy, faster response time and successful prosecutions.
According to him, the ethical and professional application of the tools will significantly strengthen the corps’ effectiveness in protecting lives and critical national assets.
He reiterated that crime had become increasingly sophisticated, technology-driven, and transnational; hence, the need to adopt new technology trends during security investigations.
The CG emphasised the importance of AI in data analysis, pattern recognition, biometric identification, digital forensics and predictive intelligence.
Mr Audi therefore urged participants to translate the knowledge gained during the workshop into practical investigative outcomes in line with the corps’ mandate.
