Abstract

Hybrid crime scene policing in the digital evidence era increasingly involves the integration of physical and digital evidence, creating new operational, legal, and training challenges for law enforcement. This paper presents a conceptually framed, practice-informed analytical synthesis of selected literature and documented international use cases examining the role of artificial intelligence (AI) and immersive technologies in crime scene training and investigation. It proposes a tiered conceptual framework for AI and immersive training that integrates immersive simulation, AI-facilitated performance analysis, and hybrid physical–digital training, and discusses the associated legal, ethical, and operational considerations necessary for responsible implementation.
