Stay Safe When Using AI Tools!

Artificial intelligence (AI) tools are becoming increasingly popular with individuals and organizations. While AI tools can be helpful, it’s important to consider the security risks of sharing sensitive information and data with these tools.

Storing Your Information
AI tools collect and store large amounts of the information shared with them. Depending on the AI tool you use, your user data, conversations, feedback, and location can be collected and even reviewed by human AI trainers. These tools use this shared information to improve the content they generate. If the AI tool you use experiences a breach, your sensitive information could land in the hands of cybercriminals.

Spoofed AI Tools
Cybercriminals can also spoof legitimate AI tools or even create their own. If they trick you into using their versions of AI tools, you could be sharing information directly with cybercriminals and putting yourself at risk. With these malicious AI tools, cybercriminals can create specialized prompts and inputs designed to manipulate you into sharing sensitive information.

What Can I Do to Stay Safe?
Follow the tips below to keep your information safe when using AI tools:

Use well-known and secure AI tools. Verify that the AI tools are legitimate and choose tools that have been developed with data security in mind.
Limit the information that you share. Only share details that are necessary for the AI tool to function and exclude any identifying information.

Do your research. Familiarize yourself with the privacy policies of AI tools to understand the data privacy risks.

The Wethersfield Police Department extends our deepest condolences to the Hartford Police Department and the family of Deputy Chief Jason Lee. Our thoughts and prayers are with you 🙏 💙

The Hartford Police Department mourns the loss of Deputy Chief Jason Lee, a respected member of the HPD family whose career reflected more than two decades of service to the department and the City of Hartford.

Deputy Chief Lee graduated with Hartford Police Academy Class 2005-1. Throughout his career, he served in Patrol, the Safe City Initiative alongside the Connecticut State Police, the Southwest Conditions Unit, and as a detective in the Crime Scene Division. After being promoted to Sergeant, he remained in CSD and later served there as a Lieutenant. While a Lieutenant, he also served as Chief of Staff for then-Chief Jason Thody.

Lee finished first on the Captain promotional examination, was promoted to Captain, and later to Deputy Chief. Most recently, he served as Deputy Chief of Professional Standards while remaining actively involved in numerous department initiatives, including recruitment and the continued development of the Hartford Police Department.

Perhaps nothing spoke more clearly to his character than the way he continued to serve during his battle with cancer. Throughout treatment, Deputy Chief Lee continued coming to work and remained actively engaged in the department. Unless you knew what he was facing personally, you would never have known the fight he was going through.

Even through his treatments and into his final days, he continued to contribute, support his colleagues, and remain involved in the work that meant so much to him.

We extend our deepest condolences to the entire Lee family, and we thank them for sharing Jason with the Hartford Police Department for so many years. His time, friendship, guidance, and devotion to this department meant more than words can fully express.

Deputy Chief Jason Lee leaves behind a legacy that will remain a part of the Hartford Police Department for years to come.

Rest in peace, Deputy Chief Lee. Your service will never be forgotten.
