He holds an MBA from the University of Denver and a BS in Justice Studies and Computer Science from Arizona State, and has co-authored peer-reviewed research in the Journal of the Royal Statistical Society on spatio-temporal crime modeling. Sean works with agencies across North America to bring practical, ethically-grounded AI into day-to-day policing operations.

What students will learn

In this 1 hour session, public safety professionals will see how modern AI and automation can quietly take over the repetitive, time-consuming work that bogs down police agencies; from report intake and routing, to records cleanup, to officer wellness check-ins, to community-facing communications. Using n8n as the backbone, we’ll walk through real, working examples of automated workflows already deployed in agencies, then pull back the curtain on the AI layer itself: what large language models actually are, what they’re good and bad at, where they fit alongside RMS and CAD systems, and what officers and civilian staff need to know to evaluate vendors honestly. We’ll also learn how AI and automation can be leveraged in OSINT research and analysis.

The goal isn’t to turn anyone into a developer; it’s to give mid-level sworn and civilian leaders a clear, jargon-free map of what’s possible today, what’s hype, and where to start so their agency captures the productivity gains without the privacy or operational risks. The session closes with open discussion, so come ready to share what’s working, what’s stuck, and where you’d point automation first.
