The Man Who Changed Police Technology

What does it take to change policing technology forever?

In this episode of Siren Investigates, host John Randles sits down with Bob Griffin—founder of Coplink, former CEO of IBM i2, former CEO of Ayasdi (now SymphonyAI Sensa), and Chairman of Siren.He has served with organizations such as the Intelligence and National Security Alliance (INSA), the National Cyber Forensics and Training Alliance (NCFTA), and other public safety and national security initiatives.

Few people have had a greater influence on modern intelligence and law enforcement technology. Throughout his career, Bob has helped shape the platforms that investigators rely on to connect data, uncover criminal networks, and protect communities around the world.

Together, John and Bob explore:

- Why information sharing became one of the biggest challenges in policing?

- The lessons learned from major investigations and global events

- The role of AI in modern investigations—and why AI should support human judgement, not replace it

- How technology can deliver true situational awareness for investigators?

- Why Bob chose to join Siren as Chairman and invest in the company's vision for the future of investigations?

Bob also shares the moment he first saw Siren's technology and realised it represented the vision he had been pursuing throughout his career.
