Police have launched a criminal investigation into an officer accused of using artificial intelligence (AI) systems to "create evidential material in a number of cases".

The Derbyshire Police officer has been removed from frontline duties, pending the outcome of the investigation, said the force.

The officer is alleged to have perverted the course of justice, but no arrests have been made, said police.

A Crown Prosecution Service spokesperson said they were working with police, adding: "We are engaging with defence teams and the courts in appropriate cases."

They added: "As police inquiries continue, it would not be appropriate to comment further."
