From January 16 to 18, 2024, the Europol Industry & Research Days were held in The Hague, and ISID was invited to the “AI Tools” session to present a real use case of video analysis using AI in a European police force, with its Intelion platform.

Europol, the European police agency, based in The Hague, Netherlands, has the mission of supporting all member countries in preventing and combating international and organized crime, as well as organized fraud, drug trafficking, terrorism or cybercrime. The agency also collaborates with other nations beyond the eurozone.

On the other hand, Europol has the responsibility of advancing innovation in security forces and promoting research. To this end, the agency collaborates with universities and private companies, as well as research and development centers, to discover and select new technologies that can help in police work.

To this end, this organization holds an event called “Europol Industry & Research Days” in which security forces from all the countries of the Union, as well as private companies and other organizations, meet to stay up to date with technological advances. that are occurring and that can impact police work. The event is the main forum for innovation of security forces and agencies with the goal of preventing the possible threats of conventional crime and cybercrime, as well as to find new applications of current technology to the investigation and resolution of crimes that have already been committed.

AI Tools for police work

This year’s main topics revolved around OSINT (Open Source Intelligence), new emerging platforms, robotics and AI tools. For this reason, ISID was invited to participate in the session dedicated to artificial intelligence tools applied to police work, called “AI Tools”. In it we presented a real case of use of our Intelion platform in a European police force.

Intelion is a video and audio analyzer for police forces, intelligence centers, government agencies and other public and private organizations, which reduces investigation times to a fraction of usual, by automating video review and documentation tasks, audios and photos generated in surveillance, listening or social network analysis operations. It can function as a forensic video analysis tool, or in ongoing investigations.

Intelion is an AI analytics platform that can be integrated into a VMS or function independently, processing video files, surveillance cameras, radio and TV broadcasts or content from online platforms and social networks in a massive and unattended manner. It applies AI-based analyzers to automatically classify all information and locate targets, faces, objects and other types of information.
