Crime prevention and investigation have entered a new era with the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI). The world over, smart policing is taking centre stage, making the world a safer place.  This presentation explores the potential of Natural Language Processing (NLP) within AI to analyse crime data and identify patterns, ultimately aiding in combating crime. Specifically, I will focus on how NLP can be used to extract data from crime memoranda and leverage it for suspect identification by matching it with existing profiles of wanted persons.
