The Dutch police force and TU Delft, headed by the TU Delft Safety & Security Institute, collaborate on innovation in domains such as smarter detection, cyber security, robotics and forensic research. An example is the joint Model-Driven Decisions Lab (MoDDL). The increased availability of information and new machine learning algorithms offer great opportunities for the work of the police. In the lab, research is done on how available information can be used to digitally represent situations and optimize interventions. Operational/tactical and strategic applications are coming together in this lab. Ethical issues and considerations play an important role in the research done.
