Gavin Newsom this month signed a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12007520/how-artificial-intelligence-is-changing-the-reports-police-write\">first-of-its-kind California law\u003c/a> requiring police to disclose how they use generative artificial intelligence, a move aimed at boosting transparency and public trust.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California is among the first states to address the issue. KQED \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12007520/how-artificial-intelligence-is-changing-the-reports-police-write\">first reported\u003c/a> last October on local departments adopting AI tools. The reporting was cited in the legislative analysis of the bill that ultimately became the law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate Bill 524, signed into law Oct. 10, requires police officers to disclose when they use AI to write police reports. The tools include Draft One, an AI assistant that transcribes and summarizes body-camera footage to produce a draft report, which officers can then revise and edit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Specifically, the law now requires a written disclosure to appear at the bottom of each page of a police report for which Draft One or other similar tools were used.

For example, officers must fill in prompts within the generated report, then sign off on the report’s accuracy before it can be submitted. The tool also includes a disclaimer that Draft One was used, though police agencies have thus far been able to customize where in a report it’s placed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12006138\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12006138\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/240923-AI-IN-POLICING-MD-06-KQED.jpg\" alt=\"The torso of a person dressed in a police uniform holds a hand over a body camera.\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/240923-AI-IN-POLICING-MD-06-KQED.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/240923-AI-IN-POLICING-MD-06-KQED-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/240923-AI-IN-POLICING-MD-06-KQED-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/240923-AI-IN-POLICING-MD-06-KQED-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/240923-AI-IN-POLICING-MD-06-KQED-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/240923-AI-IN-POLICING-MD-06-KQED-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">An East Palo Alto Police officer’s Axon body camera in East Palo Alto on Sept. 23, 2024. \u003ccite>(Martin do Nascimento/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Police departments have said the technology saves officers significant time, and even that some AI-generated reports are better than the ones written entirely by officers.

The condolences of the entire Raider Nation are with Doug’s family at this time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Martin was born in Oakland and raised in Stockton, where he became a surprising star of the St. Mary’s High School football program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tony Franks, who coached him throughout his high school career, said the news of Martin’s death was “shocking.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is really a difficult situation and a tragic loss,” he told KQED. “We need to look after one another. Sometimes people might be going through some challenges and we have to be aware of that and reach out and take care of folks.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Franks described Martin, who arrived at St. Mary’s hoping to be a basketball player, as grateful, humble and hardworking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“[He was] just a terrific young man to be around, had a smile that would light up a room,” Franks said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He told KQED that future football players at the school were inspired by Martin, who came to St. Mary’s without any football experience and was convinced by then-Athletic Director Jim Brusa to try out for the team.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a story of arriving thinking you’re one thing and then discovering maybe you’re something else, and that’s kind of what high school is all about,” he said. “It was inspiring … and it was just all very exciting for our community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After graduating from St. Mary’s in 2007, Martin played four seasons at Boise State University as \u003ca href=\"https://broncosports.com/news/2025/10/19/football-doug-martin-passes-away-at-36\">one of the school’s best running backs to date\u003c/a>.

But he also weathered some rocky seasons throughout his career.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He spent most of the 2013 season on injured reserve, and was suspended for four games in 2016 after testing positive for Adderall in violation of the NFL’s performance-enhancing drug policy. He was released by the Bucs in 2018 after struggling to come back from the suspension, which extended into the start of the 2017 season.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That year, he was signed by the Raiders and ran for his third-highest total rushing yards after stepping into the starting lineup following an injury to Marshawn Lynch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He resigned with the Raiders for the 2019 season but was placed on injured reserve and released with an injury settlement prior to the start of the regular season.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED’s \u003c/em>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/author/shossaini\">\u003cem>Sara Hossaini\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cem> contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
