Event Details
The majority of crimes today have a digital footprint and technology both enables crimes to occur and for law enforcement to work, creating an ever changing and more complex relationship between the two in a race for one to always be at least two steps ahead of the other.
Fast moving digital technology has helped create a new genre of criminals who are educated, tech savvy and can sell their skills for nefarious purposes. The ever-growing issue of serious and organised crime depends on sophisticated technology linking a variety of criminal activities, including child sexual abuse and exploitation, people trafficking, and drug smuggling, making the perpetrators harder to trace.
The increasing use of AI by criminal gangs makes detection ever harder and as a criminal tool, AI can be used for purposes like intimation, humiliation, and harassment. Criminals will use AI tools like ChatGPT for writing assistance, allowing inexperienced writers to craft effective marketing messages that lure in potential victims of so-called romance fraud and can also be responsible for encouraging murderous acts and radicalisation.
For the law enforcers too, AI can become a powerful tool in predictive policing and assist in forensic data analysis and testing the parameters of privacy and data protection.
The borderless nature of technology-driven crime also creates new practical and legislative obstacles for those tasked with law enforcement and how they collaborate in the name of justice.
This annual Holyrood ‘Law Enforcement in a Digital Age’ event builds on what we learnt from the inaugural event shaped around last year’s INTERPOL General Assembly and will explore the main issues that digital technology brings to both enabling crime and fighting it.
*This event is free to attend for those working in the public and third sectors. If you work in the private sector, please email Sales@holyrood.com to discuss commercial opportunities.

Head Resourcing is launching a brand new webinar series that brings you inside stories of how real organisations are using AI and data to solve real problems, not just talk theory.
For years, we’ve crafted digital products that transform industries and delight users. Yet, despite their sophistication, these creations have lacked true intelligence, operating strictly within the rules we predefined as analysts, designers, and engineers. Now, with advances in artificial intelligence, we can design software that behaves more like a human—it appears to empathise, problem-solve, and adapt dynamically to user needs.
To create these intelligent experiences, we must evolve our mindset, practices, and processes. It’s time to rethink conventional wisdom and embrace a new adaptive, real-time digital intelligence paradigm.
Speaker: Gary Crawford, Founder of Owendale Advisory.
