He was a day away from retiring from Calgary Police Service (CPS) after more than 32 years, most recently as executive director of IT, and he walked me through some of the work he\u2019d done over his career.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The AI steering committee he set up early on included lawyers, and Dyer\u2019s team worked through AI questions with legal, privacy, and access-to-information staff. Dyer laughs when he says they\u2019re the \u201cpeople that typically like to slow you down.\u201d He put them in the room early, and says it\u2019s what let the rest of the process move.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dyer says CPS has been an early adopter of AI in Canadian policing. His work over the past five years focused heavily on governance, including rules around data, disclosure, privacy, and employee-built tools.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dyer is a 2026 finalist for the CanadianCIO of the Year Awards in the public sector category. He led a team of 100 across a service of 3,300 people, the third-largest municipal police service in Canada. Winners will be announced in Toronto on Oct. 1, 2026. The award recognizes public-sector technology leaders modernizing government and public institutions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This fall, he\u2019s starting over.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The province of Alberta is forming a new provincial police force under legislation introduced earlier this year. Dyer is taking over as executive director of IT and information management at the Alberta Sheriffs Police Service, which means he\u2019s about to build a technology function from zero.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019m going to build them an IT shop out of LEGO, and I\u2019m going to build it from the ground up. Build the team, build the technology, build the outcomes, build all this stuff. And then we\u2019ll see where it goes,\u201d says Dyer. \u201cSee what I do when I grow up.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-governance-came-before-the-rollout\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Governance came before the rollout<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dyer built the CPS AI steering committee years ago because he wanted questions of legal, privacy, and access worked through while the technology was still being shaped.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBecause they have been an active member of that particular steering committee, we\u2019ve been able to kind of get around some of the friction and actually encourage them to take some chances,\u201d says Dyer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The approach predates the current generative AI push.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CPS has had a Technology Ethics Steering Committee with citizen members since 2022, responding to public questions about how the service uses algorithmic policing technologies. Dyer\u2019s AI committee is internal, and the two bodies work in parallel. By 2024, CPS had formalized its AI structure with usage guidelines, governance processes, and oversight around Microsoft Copilot.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dyer says Chief Katie McLellan gives the team room to make mistakes as long as the intent is honest and the transparency is there.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cShe\u2019s OK if we make mistakes,\u201d says Dyer. \u201cThe fact that we\u2019re trying, we\u2019re being transparent about it, and our hearts are in it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CPS sorts its data by sensitivity, and Dyer says its security systems can audit searches and email activity. If someone makes an inappropriate database lookup, he says the service can identify it quickly.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The service has used both facial recognition and Palantir Gotham, putting some of its technology choices under civil-liberties scrutiny. Citizen Lab says CPS uses Palantir to bring different data sources together for analysis, but not the platform\u2019s predictive-policing functions.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"801\" src=\"https:\/\/www.digitaljournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/JF_BrenyDyer_DSC_3740lr-1200x801.jpg\" alt=\"Brent Dyer at Calgary Police Service's Real Time Operations Centre, where the map on screen shows the city's camera locations. \u2014 Photo by Jennifer Friesen, Digital Journal\" class=\"wp-image-3859110\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.digitaljournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/JF_BrenyDyer_DSC_3740lr-1200x801.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.digitaljournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/JF_BrenyDyer_DSC_3740lr-800x534.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.digitaljournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/JF_BrenyDyer_DSC_3740lr-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.digitaljournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/JF_BrenyDyer_DSC_3740lr-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.digitaljournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/JF_BrenyDyer_DSC_3740lr.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Brent Dyer at Calgary Police Service\u2019s Real Time Operations Centre, where the map on screen shows the city\u2019s camera locations. \u2014 Photo by Jennifer Friesen, Digital Journal<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Calgary City Council approves CPS\u2019s total budget, and the Calgary Police Commission approves how that money is spent. Dyer says proposed technologies can also go to public advisory groups before rollout. He used drones as an example.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If an officer uses Copilot to think through a case, does every prompt go into their notes?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dyer\u2019s team worked it through with legal and privacy staff. Instead of recording every Copilot prompt, Dyer says officers disclose the use once at the end and verify the information.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The goal, he says, is to free officers from the machine work of reviewing hours of video and going through evidence, so they can spend more time on the human work of interviewing witnesses and being in the community.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-what-happens-when-tech-hits-the-real-world\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What happens when tech hits the real world<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CPS runs body-worn cameras with live translation, so officers working a call in a language they don\u2019t speak can communicate on scene.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Drones head to certain calls before officers arrive, giving incoming responders a picture of what they\u2019re walking into. Officers are using Copilot across the service, and some are building their own AI agents to handle parts of the job that are still slow or manual.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CPS moved on body-worn cameras early. The service was planning full deployment to frontline officers by 2017, but technical problems derailed the first rollout. When CPS came back in January 2019 with Axon cameras, Dyer says officers refused to wear them. They didn\u2019t want their managers watching their work.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019ve gone from that to officers not wanting to go out on shift without a body-worn camera,\u201d says Dyer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The lesson from the first attempt, he says, was that tech needed operational buy-in.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The work was reducing complaints, building public trust, running the legal side, and communicating with a resident at the worst moment of their life.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CPS became the first Canadian force to fully deploy AI translation on body-worn cameras this past June, with the system covering more than 60 languages in real time.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTo be able to go out to somebody in the time of need, when they need us, they need somebody the most, probably the lowest experience of their life,\u201d says Dyer. \u201cAnd to be able to communicate with a police officer through live translation services has been an absolute game changer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The drone program is on the same trajectory, with CPS having between five to 10 drones in its fleet and plans for more to come. Dyer says CPS is on track to be one of the first three Canadian agencies to run drones as first responders.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beyond what the technology team ships, some officers at CPS are writing their own AI agents to solve problems they run into on shift.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt could be the wild west a little bit,\u201d says Dyer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The audit trail applies whether an officer runs a search themselves or has an agent do it for them.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"801\" src=\"https:\/\/www.digitaljournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/JF_BrentDyer_DSC_3719lr-1200x801.jpg\" alt=\"Brent Dyer, executive director of IT, at a workstation in Calgary Police Service's Real Time Operations Centre.

What is the value of AI in policing?<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt costs money,\u201d says Dyer. \u201cIt\u2019s going to cost a lot of money at the end of the day. It\u2019s never going to save anybody any money. I\u2019m telling you that right now, especially in public sector.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His answer showed up in the summer of 2026, in a search that took over the city.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Parker Wells went missing on July 16 from a specialized day facility in Calgary\u2019s Thorncliffe neighbourhood. He was 11 years old, non-verbal, and autistic.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Calgary Police led a massive search operation where hundreds of officers, trained searchers, and thousands of volunteers looked for him for nearly two weeks. On July 29, police announced they had found his body in a culvert system under the city.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019ve been here 32 and a half years, I have never ever seen the response for something that\u2019s happened in our city like this one,\u201d says Dyer. \u201cBehind the scenes, there\u2019s literally a thousand people that had been working on this at one time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dyer says the technology his team had built over the previous five years was part of what kept the search going. Drones, mapping tools, and video analytics carried some of the manual load. AI worked through material that, he says, would otherwise have taken officers away from the search.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt allows officers to be more human rather than to do the machine work behind the scenes and do the investigation,\u201d says Dyer. \u201cIt allows them to have some emotion and give them the motivation to keep searching.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dyer keeps coming back to time. If technology can take some of the manual work off officers, he says they can spend more of it on the case.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf we can get to a case faster, if we can solve a case faster for citizens, we earn their trust, and that is the goal at the end of the day,\u201d says Dyer.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-final-shots\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final shots<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Bring legal, privacy, and access teams in before rollout. The earlier they help write the rules, the less cleanup there is after a complaint, disclosure issue, or court challenge.<\/li>\n<li>AI does not have to cut costs to be useful. Dyer measures it by the time it gives back to officers and investigators.<\/li>\n<li>Employee-built AI gets messy fast. Set the rules for data, logging, and review before everyone starts making their own tools.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em><strong><em>This article is part of a series profiling the finalists for the 2026 <\/em><\/strong><strong><em>CanadianCIO of the Year Awards<\/em><\/strong><strong><em>, public sector category, presented by the CIO Association of Canada.
