Police Scotland has been recognised as leading the way in the ethical introduction of data driven technologies, aiming to become an organisation driven by the effective and efficient use of data, in an ethical way. The conversation will focus on how Police Scotland prioritises ethics and public confidence in its use of technology, and how Data Ethics in policing can enable and empower decision-making across the force.
