Halo Summary
The Office of Management and Budget has set an October 20 deadline for federal agencies to update their AI procurement policies focusing on data ownership, IP rights, and removing barriers to adoption.
While aimed at federal agencies, these changes will ripple down to state and local law enforcement by shaping vendor standards and contract terms for AI-powered policing tools.
Expect to see more consistent safeguards around:
-
How body-worn camera and investigative AI tools handle your data
-
Protections against vendor lock-in
-
Privacy and risk management requirements
Bottom line: The way agencies buy and deploy AI is about to get more standardized and that could change what’s available to your department.
