Summary
A senior Derbyshire detective has been served notice of an IOPC gross-misconduct investigation over alleged AI use after the force voluntarily referred the case on 23 June.
The watchdog said an internal review found concerns the officer's use of artificial intelligence was not in line with force guidance and conditions, warranting an independent investigation.
The Financial Times reported the case involves a detective chief inspector accused of using AI to maintain decision logs, records that can later be scrutinized by defence lawyers in court.
The inquiry comes two months after Derbyshire Police opened a separate criminal investigation into another officer accused of using AI to create evidential material in multiple cases.
