The use of artificial intelligence (AI) and digital systems are helping the police service fight crime, an authority has said.

Simon Harman, who chairs the Jersey Police Authority, released its annual report - praising the force for the way it was tackling crime with technology.

The force announced in March it was testing AI to help transcribe witness interviews.

Separately, the report found an increase in incidents involving missing young people on the island and youth crime - costing about £1.8m in 2024.

States of Jersey Police said it had brought in AI to "promise long-term efficiencies and enhanced decision-making" but assured the processes were still being overseen by humans.
