With more U.S. citizens traveling and living abroad, an increasingly volatile global environment, and the ability for bad actors to commit crimes and acts of terrorism against American citizens both at home and abroad, our federal law enforcement partners are faced with an expanding mission without traditional borders. This panel will identify key considerations, challenges, and requirements related to intelligence gathering, information sharing, evidence collection and processing, investigations, and prosecution of criminals overseas. Agencies will discuss the impact of this expanded mission on their workforce and resources; how they are addressing the challenges; and the operational tools, technologies, and services needed from their private sector partners to successfully execute the growing global nature of law enforcement. 

This panel will focus on how law enforcement agencies are developing strategies and plans for responsible use of artificial intelligence technologies.  Speakers will discuss their operating principles, processes and organizational structures used for due diligence before deployment, and the requirements for industry to follow as they develop these technologies. The panel will also discuss criminal and adversarial trends related to use of AI and their plans and needs for mitigating the threat. Industry will gain a better understanding of inter-agency coordination and the development of an enterprise wide strategy for reporting and use.

This panel will focus on how law enforcement agencies are navigating procurement in a time of budget uncertainty and shortages in contracting staff. Speakers will discuss how they are planning for delays in GWACs and SS vehicles, managing modernization efforts, and procuring other key mission requirements in this environment. This session will explore the strategies, processes, tools, and contract vehicles that will drive their strategy and roadmap for the future.
