Metropolitan police and Palantir25 Apr 2026 21:03
Ste be very careful, thisxisxwhat causes problems on social media.
You've posted that Palantir's program with the Met is the same as DH with Hlos police, but it's not is it
Glos police is simply using a program of converting VIdeo and Audio interviews into Court acceptable criminal reports..Show me where the Met systemvdoes this.
The mets system is intelligence integration of many other programmes.
Why do you think they are the same?
🚨 Metropolitan Police & Palantir – What’s Actually Being Negotiated?
The Metropolitan Police is currently in talks with Palantir to deploy a powerful AI-driven intelligence analysis platform. While no full contract is confirmed yet, trials are already underway—and this could represent a major shift in how policing works in London.
🧠 What is it?
A system designed to:
• Combine data from dozens of police databases into one platform
• Automate parts of intelligence analysis
• Use AI to identify patterns, links, and risks in criminal activity
⚙️ How it works:
1. Data Integration
Pulls together crime reports, custody records, intelligence logs, and more into a single dashboard.
2. AI Pattern Detection
Links people, locations, devices, and events—helping uncover hidden networks or suspicious behaviour.
3. Automated Analysis
Can generate timelines, map relationships, and suggest investigative leads—reducing manual workload.
4. Future Potential
Could evolve into predictive policing (identifying risks before crimes happen).
🧪 What’s already happening?
• Trial contracts already in place
• Used internally to detect misconduct, fraud, and corruption
• Early systems have flagged hundreds of potential issues
🎯 What this could become:
• A real-time intelligence “engine” for all London policing
• Faster investigations and case-building
• Possible integration with national systems
⚠️ Why it’s controversial:
• Privacy concerns over large-scale data use
• Risk of AI-driven bias or “automated suspicion”
• Reliance on a private US tech firm for sensitive policing infrastructure
🧩 Bottom line:
This isn’t just another IT upgrade—it’s a shift toward AI-assisted policing, where machines help drive investigations, not just support them.

Worth watching closely. This could redefine how intelligence-led policing operates in the UK.
