The discussions covered several areas where the Royal Eswatini Police Service could benefit from adopting these technologies. These include proactive crime prevention through predictive analytics, which would enable law enforcement to anticipate crime hotspots and deploy resources strategically, shifting from reactive to intelligence-led policing.

The engagement also covered real-time threat detection and situational awareness through the integration of CCTV, sensors, and multiple data sources to provide immediate alerts on emerging security risks. Advanced digital forensics tools were discussed as a way to automate the analysis of digital evidence and significantly reduce case resolution times.

Other areas included unified data integration, which would connect existing systems into a single AI-powered platform to improve command-level decision-making, as well as resource optimisation through predictive modelling to improve effectiveness while reducing operational costs. Capacity building and knowledge transfer to strengthen internal capabilities within the Royal Eswatini Police Service for long-term digital transformation were also on the table.

Presight already delivers these solutions to institutions such as the Abu Dhabi Police and the Maldives Police Service, where measurable results have been recorded.
