As agencies move to incorporate AI tools throughout their organizations, many are finding that AI without orchestration creates new silos. The agencies that lead will not be the ones with the most AI tools, but the ones that deploy AI safely, at scale, with auditability and human oversight built into every action.

Creating a single “front door” for AI users can help make sure the AI is working for government employees, not the other way around. By creating AI “specialists” that can execute entire jobs from beginning to end, public servants can be freed up to take the work that requires judgment and empathy. This twin path to completing work assignments compresses time-to-value and provides faster outcomes.

Learning Objectives:

• Outline considerations for defining the line where an ‘AI Specialist’ can own a task versus where a human must intervene
• Evaluate ways to build human oversight into every autonomous action at a mission scale
• Identify steps to accelerate implementation to reap the benefits of faster time-to-value

In 2026, federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies will face an unprecedented and ongoing wave of  high-profile events that will test the limits of public safety efforts.

From the FIFA World Cup across 16 North American cities to the year-long America250 Semiquincentennial celebrations and the midterm elections, these events will draw millions of participants and global attention. This situation will create complex security challenges due to geographic spread, long durations, and the ongoing threat of advanced cyber campaigns and lone-wolf attacks. 

This year’s Law Enforcement and Public Safety (LEAPS) Technology Forum will focus on Operational Readiness 2026: Tech Strategies for Large-Scale Security Challenges. The conference provides a vital platform to explore how emerging technologies can significantly improve law enforcement readiness and response to this unique threat environment. Specific, actionable topics will include: 

• Integrated Intelligence Platforms: Enabling true interoperability among fusion centers, joint operation centers, and an international police coordination hub for real-time information sharing across federal, state, and local partners. 

• Counter-UAS (Drone) Technologies: Implementing layered C-UAS mitigation strategies to protect stadiums, parade routes, and critical infrastructure. 

• Cybersecurity Innovations and AI Defense: Protecting election systems and event networks from AI-accelerated attacks and ensuring the integrity of critical law enforcement communications. 

• Advanced Analytics and AI: Utilizing machine learning for real-time behavioral analysis, accurate crowd modeling, and optimizing resource deployment across vast urban zones. 

• Secure Communications and Interoperability: Establishing resilient, multi-band communications infrastructure for seamless command and control during National Special Security Events (NSSEs). 

• Digital Forensics and Disinformation Response: Implementing proactive strategies to fight online radicalization, deepfakes, and uphold election integrity.  

Join us at the 18th annual LEAPS Technology Forum. Attendees will gain actionable insights into leveraging technology for proactive risk management, rapid incident response, and public trust building in an era of evolving threats. With billions of dollars in federal investment now earmarked for security and technology modernization, this is the critical moment to align strategies, share best practices, and establish the united framework that will secure the year ahead and permanently redefine the future of public safety.
