Will AI replace Police Identification and Records Officers?

There is no dataset that measures "replacement." What we can do is put three independent, published measurements next to each other for Police Identification and Records Officers and let them stand on their own: how much of the work overlaps with what AI can do, what people who use AI in this job actually do with it today, and what the labor market is projected to do. None of these is a forecast of the role disappearing.

1. How much of the work overlaps with AI

Published exposure research places Police Identification and Records Officers at a moderate exposure level (around the 48th percentile across all occupations). Exposure measures the share of tasks that overlap with current AI capabilities — it is not a measure of how many of those tasks will actually be automated, or on what timeline, or whether the role as a whole goes away. · AI assistant applicability (Microsoft)

A second, independent read agrees on the order of magnitude: the ILO's 2025 global study — scored on the international ISCO-08 system and bridged to Police Identification and Records Officers through the published (approximate) O*NET-SOC crosswalk — places this work around the 42nd percentile of 427 occupations, with about 23% of its tasks exposed (up from 20% in 2023).

2. What people actually do with AI here today

No observed-AI-use sample is published for this occupation.

3. What the labor market is projected to do

The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects employment for this occupation as declining (-0.7% over 2024–34) , with roughly 7,800 openings projected per year (growth plus replacement). A projection is a model of the labor market, made before AI's full effect is known — but it is the closest thing we have to an official outlook. · BLS Employment Projections

The skills that travel either way

Whatever AI does to the tasks, these are the highest-importance capabilities this work runs on — the ones worth deepening because they transfer across how the job evolves.

• Active Listening
• Speaking
• Oral Comprehension
• Written Comprehension

The honest bottom line

No single dataset says so — here is what the evidence actually measures. Exposure is task overlap, not a verdict. Observed use is a sample, not the whole workforce. The employment projection is a model, not a promise. They measure different things and they do not have to agree. Read them together, see the full Police Identification and Records Officers profile for the underlying numbers, and draw your own conclusion.
