At the AiLECS Lab (AI for Law Enforcement and Community Safety), we explore the responsible development and deployment of artificial intelligence to serve justice, improve public safety, and protect individual rights. Our collaborative research spans across government, academia, and industry to tackle challenges in computer vision, NLP, audio analysis, and media forensics—always with ethical rigor at the core.

The AiLECS Lab was launched in July 2019, by AFP Deputy Commissioner (Transnational, Serious and Organised Crime) Karl Kent OAM and Monash University Vice-Chancellor, Professor Margaret Gardner AC. Since its inception, AiLECS continues to broaden its portfolio. The lab continues its work in countering child exploitation but is also undertaking research in areas ranging from ethical dataset curation through to detection of illegal firearms. We invite you to explore our website to find out more about AiLECS and our mission of advancing ethical and transparent AI for keeping communities safe.
