in collaboration with The World Governments Summit is a global platform dedicated toshaping the future of governments worldwide. Each year, the Summitsets the agenda for the next generation of governments with a focuson how they can harness innovation and technology to solve universalchallenges facing humanity.The World Governments Summit is a knowledge exchange center atthe intersection of government, futurism, technology, and innovation.It functions as a thought leadership platform and networking hub forpolicymakers, experts, and pioneers in human development.The Summit is a gateway to the future as it functions as the stage foranalysis of future trends, concerns, and opportunities facing humanity.It is also an arena to showcase innovations, best practice, and smartsolutions to inspire creativity to tackle these future challenges.To Inspireand EnableThe Next Generationof GovernmentsWorld Governments Summit Table of ContentsIntroductionThe Role of Technology in the Evolution of CrimeThe Role of Law Enforcement Agencies:Adapting to a Tech-Driven Crime LandscapeTransformation: LeveragingTechnology for Law EnforcementPillar 1: Collaborating with Other Government EntitiesPillar 2: Role of LEAs: Upskilling and Reskilling LEA PersonnelPillar 3: The Role of LEAs: Engaging with Communities for a Safer SocietyContactsRecommendations and ConclusionEndnotesTopicsThe Role of Technology in the Evolution of CrimeThe Risk-Reward Matrix for Technology and CrimeHow Technologies are Being Used to Commit CrimeHow Technology is Changing the Way Criminals Operate: What Doesthe Future Look Like? 0507193143354409111317212529 IntroductionTechnology is both a facilitator and a mitigator of crime in the 21stcentury. As advanced technologies have become part of everydaylife, criminals have also integrated them into their methods andactivities: encrypted messaging platforms are used for offensesincluding money laundering and migrant smuggling, increasing theperpetrators’ global reach and with greater anonymity; biometricsare misused to impersonate victims and gain unauthorized access tosensitive information; drones, 3D printing, and blockchain facilitate thetransportation of illegal items, including drugs, firearms, and currency;and there has been a surge in deepfake fraud using artificial intelligence(AI) to carry out identity theft, extortion, and espionage.The UK Home Office categorizes cybercrimes in two ways: cyber-dependent crimes, which can only happen as a result of digital tools,including hacking and ransomware attacks; and cyber-enabled crimes,which are traditional crimes, including fraud, theft, or child exploitation,but “increased in their scale or reach” by the use of computers.1Bothcategories are set to define future criminal landscapes, offering higherrewards with lower risks.As a result, it is crucial for law enforcement agencies (LEAs) to prioritizea tech-driven approach to preventing and combatting crime. Key usecases already implemented by LEAs include drones for surveillance,acoustic sensors for precise incident location and gunshot detection, and3D imaging for reconstructing crime scenes. Similarly, use cases at thepilot stage in countries such as India include AI/machine learning (ML)for detecting suspicious behavior, blockchain for evidence storage, andautonomous vehicles for routine patrolling (e.g., as used by police forcesin key Indian cities). In this paper, we consider the success factors for increasingtechnology adoption by LEAs to realize their objectives byrealigning their operational frameworks around three corepillars:Technology is the critical link between the three pillars,enabling LEAs to combat, prevent, and investigate crimeefficiently. Moving forward, LEAs must integrate technologyadeptly, ensuring its secure and optimal utilization. Thisincludes ensuring data reliability and accuracy and themitigation of technological biases while prioritizing dataprivacy; identifying the latest tech, mobilizing investmentsamidst complex regulations, and developing strategies tonavigate these challenges; establishing an interoperabletech infrastructure, addressing vulnerabilities, and efficientlymanaging security with third-party providers; and recruitingskilled people, facilitating continuous training, and institutingstandardized capacity-building programs.LEAs will also need to focus on aligning technologyinvestments with strategic goals, collaborating with industryexperts to overcome obstacles, and investing in R&D in orderto tackle head on the crimes of the future.Using a tech-powered collaborative decision-makingmodel to work closely with other government bodies,leveraging their deep understanding of crime trendsand human behavior to shape policies and devisecomprehensive programs.Adapting to the evolving nature of crime by establishingtailored training programs to increase awareness ofcybercrimes, enhance detection and prevention expertise,and ensure regulatory compliance.Fostering a safer society th
