What AI actually changes for police detectives week to week.

Most police detectives we talk to aren't short of software - they're short of an hour back in the day.

By the numbers

Canada's overall AI usage sits at 4.37x its expected level, with Singapore leading at 5.53x.

Adoption is already well ahead of the curve, and the edge goes to whoever turns it into a concrete workflow first.

Not your typical AI agency.

Straight answers, even when the answer is no

One workflow live in weeks, not a programme

Measured in hours back, not slides

*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.

Small crew or big organisation, the busywork is the same :)

The questions a public sector buyer asks, answered up front: privacy impact, the NZISM, where the data lives and how an algorithm is held to account.

*Illustrative example based on nine hours a week of admin. Actual results vary by workflow and business.

What changes for police detectives week to week

Police Detectives sits within Protective Services, one of the sectors we build production AI for.

  • Draft reports and summaries
  • Answer policy and procedure questions
  • Triage and route requests
  • Cut administrative load

How it works in New Zealand

We find the one workflow costing Police Detectives the most hours, ship a working slice into production in weeks, prove it pays for itself, then harden it and hand it over.

Questions police detectives ask

How quickly can we see something running?

Week three for a clickable internal demo against real data. Week six for a slice your team can actually use. We hold ourselves to those numbers because they're what stops a project drifting into "endless discovery".

What's the smallest engagement you'd take on?

A two-week paid discovery for Police Detectives that aren't sure whether the build is worth doing at all. You get a one-page write-up of what we'd build, what we'd skip, and what it would cost. About 30% of those discoveries end with us recommending you don't proceed.

What tools do you build AI on?

For AI we usually reach for Draft reports and summaries, Answer policy and procedure questions, Triage and route requests, Cut administrative load. We're tool-agnostic at heart - we pick what your police detectives team team can actually run after we hand the build over, not what looks good on a vendor sticker.

Can it remind us about the annual return?

Yes. Every company must file an annual return with the Companies Office each year, separate from its tax return.

What happens when the Holidays Act is replaced?

The Employment Leave Act 2026 replaces it on 6 August 2028. Until then payroll follows the current Holidays Act, so leave calculations need to handle today's rules and the changeover.
