KUCHING: In the context of auxiliary police enforcement, artificial intelligence (AI) technology has a significant potential to support the daily duties of an auxiliary police officer.
Deputy Director (General Policing/Community Policing) of the Bukit Aman Crime Prevention and Community Safety (CPCS) Department, DCP Datuk Aida Abdul Hamid, said these duties include facilitating data analysis processes, identifying crime behaviour patterns, and enhancing efficiency in carrying out crime prevention patrols.
“With the use of AI-based monitoring systems, surveillance of suspicious activities in certain areas can be conducted more quickly, efficiently, and accurately.
“This initiative not only aims to improve community safety but also helps auxiliary police officers perform their duties effectively and efficiently.
“The implementation of advanced technology in law enforcement is a strategic step and aligns with the government’s efforts to make enforcement agencies more responsive and progressive in addressing security issues in an increasingly complex and challenging era,” she said.
She said this in her speech at the closing ceremony of the Basic Auxiliary Police Course Series 7/2025 at Dataran Kawad, Pulapol Kuching, today.
She added that as auxiliary police, they carry a great responsibility to ensure the safety levels of their respective organisations or premises are maintained in a secure and controlled manner.
“Be determined to become auxiliary police officers who are always prepared, honest, trustworthy, disciplined, professional, and with integrity, while prioritising the interests of the community, organisation, and nation.
“I hope that every auxiliary police officer who will serve after this course will instil high values of discipline and integrity alongside sincere commitment so that the auxiliary police organisation continues to remain relevant as a support force to the Royal Malaysian Police (RMP) while also contributing to the local community,” she added.
Meanwhile, a total of 267 trainees completed the basic auxiliary police course, which began on September 21 and ended on November 21, from 20 different agencies.
The nine-week course provided trainees with the necessary knowledge and skills, including legal knowledge, work procedure modules, drill training, shooting practice, and self-defence techniques.
