Integrating Artificial Intelligence in Police Education: An Analysis of the Top-Down Approach at Taiwan's Central Police University

Abstract

This chapter explores the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in police education by examining the case of Taiwan's Central Police University (CPU). It focuses on the institution's top-down approach to implementing AI technologies within its curriculum and training programs. The findings indicate that as the landscape of law enforcement evolves with rapid technological advancements, CPU has aimed to modernise its educational offerings since 2023 to better prepare future police officers for contemporary challenges. The study highlights the crucial role of institutional leadership in guiding AI adoption among faculty and students, ensuring that educational strategies align with both technological relevance and traditional pedagogical values. By enhancing its capabilities through various projects, conferences, workshops, and guidelines, CPU sets a precedent for other law enforcement vocational education institutions seeking to incorporate AI into their training frameworks.
