Practical AI for Public Safety and Administration
Learn practical ways to use AI for writing, summaries, SOPs, planning, training materials, and the everyday administrative work that takes up your time.
Learn how to use AI for the work you already do.
AI 101 is designed for law enforcement, public safety, and administrative professionals who want to use AI practically without needing to become technology experts.
- ✓ Write and improve emails, reports, memos, and communications faster
- ✓ Turn long information into clear summaries, checklists, and action items
- ✓ Build SOPs, training materials, meeting notes, and reusable documents
- ✓ Use AI as a thinking partner for planning, critique, and problem solving
- ✓ Understand where human review, security, and agency policy still matter
Leave with something you can actually use.
By the end of the workshop, you will not just understand AI better. You will build at least one reusable AI workflow around a task you actually perform.
That might be turning meeting notes into action items, transforming policy into training material, drafting communications, building an SOP, or improving another repetitive process.
What can AI actually help you do?
The focus is on the work public safety professionals are already doing, not flashy AI demonstrations that have nothing to do with your role.
Writing & Communication
Draft, improve, shorten, clarify, and adapt emails, memos, reports, and public-facing communications.
Summaries & Documents
Turn longer information into briefings, key points, FAQs, checklists, and action items.
SOPs & Processes
Turn an existing process into an organized procedure, checklist, training guide, or template.
Planning & Thinking
Challenge assumptions, identify gaps, compare options, brainstorm, and ask better questions.
Training Materials
Turn approved source material into lesson outlines, discussion questions, quizzes, and training aids.
Repetitive Work
Identify repeatable tasks where AI can help you spend less time starting from scratch.
Learn with us, not just from a slide deck.
This is a live workshop built around demonstration, discussion, practical examples, and hands-on implementation.
Lon Wilkinson
Lon brings a practical, real-world approach to using emerging technology to work smarter, improve processes, and help professionals apply new tools in ways that actually make sense for their work.
Clifton Gerring
Clifton focuses on practical AI implementation, helping professionals turn AI from something interesting into something useful through better prompting, workflows, systems, and everyday application.
Stop using AI like Google.
One of the foundational skills in AI 101 is learning how to give AI enough direction to produce useful work instead of generic answers.
Pick the session that works for you.
Both sessions cover the same AI 101 material.
Saturday, October 17
Tuesday, November 10
Four hours built around practical application.
Learn the fundamentals, practice them in real time, and leave with tools you can continue using.
Build something around your own work.
The final portion is not another presentation. You will actually build and test something you can use after class.
Choose a Task
Pick something repetitive, time-consuming, or unnecessarily manual.
Map the Process
Identify what goes in, what you currently do, and what should come out.
Build & Test
Build your AI-assisted workflow using the framework taught earlier.
Refine & Save
Improve the result, save the process, and leave with something reusable.
Built to be useful after the workshop ends.
4-Hour Live Training
Practical instruction, demonstrations, guided exercises, discussion, and hands-on work.
Participant Workbook
Follow along during the workshop, complete exercises, capture prompts, and keep the material afterward.
Prompt Framework
A simple structure you can continue using to get stronger and more consistent AI results.
Your Own Workflow
Build at least one repeatable AI-assisted workflow around something you actually do.
Build the foundation first. Go deeper from there.
AI 101 is the first workshop in a progressive learning experience. This session establishes the fundamentals needed to use AI more effectively today. Future sessions can build on those skills with more advanced tools, workflows, automation, Copilot applications, and organizational implementation.
Same mission. Better tools. More time for the work that matters.
Join Lon Wilkinson and Clifton Gerring for a practical AI workshop built for public safety and administrative professionals.
Before you register
Do I need to be experienced with AI?
No. AI 101 is designed to create a strong foundation whether you are relatively new to AI or already use tools like ChatGPT or Microsoft Copilot and want better results.
Is this specifically for public safety professionals?
Yes. The examples and applications are designed around the everyday work of law enforcement, public safety, leadership, and administrative professionals.
Are both sessions the same?
Yes. The October 17 and November 10 sessions cover the same AI 101 curriculum. Choose whichever date works best for your schedule.
Will we discuss privacy and sensitive information?
Yes. We will discuss approved tools, approved information, human review, and the importance of following your organization's security and technology policies. The workshop does not replace your agency's IT, legal, or CJIS guidance.
Is the class hands-on?
Yes. There are guided exercises throughout the class and dedicated workshop time where you build a reusable workflow around your own work.
What is included with registration?
Registration includes the four-hour live AI 101 workshop, participant workbook, exercises, frameworks, and workshop materials.
