The project focuses on solutions in areas such as interviews, investigations, crime scene examination, reporting, court transcription, and crisis exercises.Between 2022 and 2025, the project has received funding from the Research Council of Norway. It is a collaboration between the Police, NTNU CCIS, and industry partner Schjønhaug AS.AI4Interviews has been nominated for several prestigious awards:
The Digitalisation Award 2025 (Norway)
Europol’s Excellence Awards in Innovation (Europe)
The Global Innovation Management Institute Awards (Global)
Below you will find information about the need for efficiency, examples of solutions, the technology areas we work with, and how we approach innovation.Efficiency Opportunities in the PoliceThe police have significant opportunities to increase efficiency through modern technology:
The police conduct more than 150,000 interviews annually, of which around 45,000 take place in the field. Manual transcription and report writing are highly time-consuming.
A survey shows that crime scene investigators spend more than 50% of their working hours on report writing.
We speak 8–12 times faster than we write – speech recognition can therefore deliver major benefits.
Data volumes in the police are growing rapidly. AI and automation can reduce manual documentation work and help analyze large amounts of information.
We believe technology can help to:
reduce resources spent on manual processes,
increase precision and legal certainty in police work,
strengthen police documentation practices,
and better prepare the police for future challenges.
The image shows the solution’s potential used at every stage, from police interviews to the courts.
