Kazakhstan’s police embrace AI, drones, and robotic dogs for smarter law enforcement

Kazakhstan is rolling out new digital tools to modernise its police force. From robotic dogs to smart cameras, law enforcement is adopting technology to improve efficiency and transparency. These changes follow a push by President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev for digital transformation in public services.

Interior Minister Yerzhan Sadenov recently outlined plans to upgrade police operations. Among the innovations are robotic dogs, which can record violations and identify people in real-time. Drones and unmanned aerial vehicles are also being used to monitor offences and support crime prevention.

The Digital Dome system introduces smart cameras capable of facial and object recognition. These devices track traffic flow and assist in identifying criminals or locating missing persons. Automated traffic enforcement and smart pedestrian crossings are already in place to enhance road safety.

Police transparency has improved with body cameras, while operational command centres now function in districts. Over 35,000 reports have been submitted through the Law and Order digital service in just a few months. Digital solutions now cover all aspects of police work, from electronic case management to online government services.

The integration of technology aims to streamline police work and increase public trust. Facial recognition, automated systems, and digital reporting are now part of daily operations. While specific plans for crime prevention remain undisclosed, the shift toward digital tools marks a significant change in Kazakhstan’s law enforcement.
