The words of Sir Winston Churchill echoed across one of London’s most famous sites as an historic monument to sailors who fought as soldiers was rededicated.

Today’s Royal Navy reconsecrated the impressive Royal Naval Division memorial in Horse Guards Parade with full ceremony, 22 years after it was returned to the heart of the capital.

Serving personnel lined up with retired senior officers, veterans, politicians, and descendants of some of those who served in the famous unit for the service, which featured a mix of remembrance, religious ceremony and history as experts put the deeds and sacrifices of the sailor-soldiers into context.

Agentic AI tools will be able to power a security operator's entire workflow, enabling them to focus on their highest-value work: Artificial intelligence is already redefining what it means to secure the physical world. Tools to date have been focused primarily on speeding up investigations, and while that is incredibly valuable, it's really just the start of what AI can do. As AI models become more capable and intuitive, they’ll transform physical security into a proactive, intelligent discipline that helps teams detect and deter incidents before they escalate, not just respond after the fact. In the year ahead, we’ll see AI quickly become an active partner to security operators. Natural language interfaces will make complex searches and investigations conversational. Predictive analytics will surface anomalies and trigger deterrence measures automatically before they need human intervention. All of this will free security professionals to focus on their highest-value work and create safer buildings, campuses, and communities around the world. — Babak Behzad, Head of AI at Verkada

London: The Government has announced that Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs) will be abolished, saving the taxpayer at least £100 million and helping to fund frontline officers to cut crime through AI.

Other key measures already announced by the government include proposals for a new National Centre of Policing, which will make the best use of taxpayer money by bringing together crucial support services such as IT and forensics, and a police performance unit to drive up standards.

The move comes as part of a major series of reforms to policing to raise national standards within the police, strengthen performance management and end the postcode lottery in crime outcome.
