Milipol Paris 2025 inauguration:
Technology at the heart of security
After a ribbon cutting with HE Sheikh Abdulaziz bin Faisal bin Mohammed
Al-Thani, the Qatar Minister of State for Interior Affairs, and Mr K.
Shanmugam SC, the Singapore Minister for Home Affairs and Minister
for Law, the French Minister of the Interior, Laurent Nuñez, officially
inaugurated the 24th edition of Milipol Paris with a speech highlighting the
importance of technology for the sector.
Mr Nuñez outlined that when used properly,
innovations such as artificial intelligence do not
threaten citizens’ individual rights and freedoms
but rather protect them.
He cited the example of the 2024 Paris Olympic
and Paralympic games and the elevated police
presence in the city, stating that we can achieve
the same or a similar result “by agreeing to guide
or increase the efforts of our police officers and
Crime Scene:
Step into
Forensics 3.0
gendarmes through the use of intelligent video
protection.”
He congratulated Prefect Yann Jounot and
Comexposium on artificial intelligence being
the connecting thread of the Milipol Paris 2025
Conference in this context.
The French Minister of the Interior emphasised
that technology serving security is primarily
aimed “at ensuring the safety and protection of
our fellow citizens” and called for better education
and awareness of how new technologies, far
from infringing on individual freedoms, are and
will continue to be one of the best tools for
ensuring this mission.
He wished everyone a successful edition
of the show and encouraged discovery and
collaboration on every level
Milipol Paris 2025 invites visitors to experience the Crime Scene area, an
immersive experience where mixed reality, artificial intelligence and digital
forensics converge in a strikingly realistic environment.

The Crime Scene area allows participants to take
part in an investigation from the inside. Equipped
with next-generation immersive headsets, visitors
enter a virtual reconstruction of a crime scene,
moving through it as a forensic expert would.
Every element of the space has been designed
to reflect authentic field conditions, including a
highly realistic human body on site, creating the
sensation of a genuine technical investigation in
progress.
The immersive zone was designed by Sébastien
Aguilar, Director of ForenSeek. ForenSeek is
also presenting its embedded digital assistant
for crime scenes, a tool developed to support
investigators in the field.
The “Crime Scene” concept itself highlights
the arrival of a new generation of forensic
investigation. By combining mixed reality,
AI and advanced visualisation technologies,
it demonstrates how future investigative
environments can improve efficiency, traceability
and reliability, while making evidence collection
and analysis more seamless on-site.
This initiative also aims to strengthen cooperation
between homeland security forces, judicial
authorities, laboratories and industry specialists.
Through shared experimentation and dialogue,
the project encourages the emergence of
operational digital tools designed for tomorrow’s
forensic challenges.
Visitors to Milipol Paris 2025 can experience the
Crime Scene area and its immersive demonstration

Forensic science
enters a new
technological age
Sébastien Aguilar, author and
co-author of several books,
forensic officer at the Paris Police
Prefecture, and founding president
of FORENSEEK, curated this year’s
Milipol Paris conference series. He
shares insights about crime scene
innovations ahead of his talk this
morning.
Sébastien Aguilar
Forensic Officer,
Paris Police Prefecture
How do new approaches such as bloodstain
dating influence investigative work?
Identifying the origin of a bloodstain is the first
step in forensic science.
Establishing that a bloodstain matches a
suspect’s genetic profile, that a footprint
corresponds to a specific shoe, or that an
earprint can be linked to a person in custody
already changes the investigation.
Suspects often provide explanations to justify
the presence of their traces. Dating makes it
possible to compare these versions, test an
alibi and distinguish between an old deposit
and a recent one.
It provides a reliable chronological thread for
the investigation. The D-Blood application
presented by the French National Centre for
Scientific Research (CNRS) in our series of
conference sessions aims to help investigators
answer these questions.
What role does AI-assisted genetic analysis
play today?
DNA testing has become standard practice
for almost all crime scenes, with undeniable
results. This was demonstrated by the
spectacular robbery at the Louvre Museum on
19 October 2025, which mobilised hundreds of
investigators and forensic scientists and led to
several arrests. In the field, biological samples
are accumulating and public and private
forensic laboratories are organising themselves
to cope with ever-increasing volumes.
Artificial intelligence aims to help staff work
faster, under the supervision of experts.
The algorithm speeds up the interpretation
of simple genetic profiles, helps to untangle
mixed profiles, calculates likelihood ratios and
improves decision-making.
WE ARE LEARNING TO
TRANSFORM MOUNTAINS OF DATA
INTO USEFUL AND RELIABLE
INFORMATION.
The aim is not to replace humans, but to relieve
experts of repetitive tasks and free up their
operational time.
Are there any emerging technologies that will
shape the next few years of forensic science?
A new way of working is emerging. We are
learning to transform mountains of data into
useful and reliable information.
When designing the conference cycle, I wanted
to place the National Centre for Serial and
Unsolved Crimes (PNCSNE), based at the
Nanterre Judicial Court, at the heart of a halfday
session devoted to cold cases.
By bringing together institutions, researchers,
magistrates and civil society, we can build an AIassisted
criminal memory capable of exploring
millions of pages of proceedings in a matter of
days, where a single human reader would take
more than a century. Immersive environments
and 3D reconstruction are transforming training,
analysis and criminal reconstruction.
Re-enacting an event and comparing it with
material evidence or witness statements will
become second nature, as long as models are
accurate and hypotheses transparent

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW
Reopening
unsolved crimes:
A judicial
perspective on
innovation
Caroline Gontran, Justice and Criminal Affairs Advisor
at the French Ministry of the Interior and former head of
France’s “Cold Cases” Unit, discusses how innovations
such as AI and genetic genealogy are transforming
criminal justice ahead of today’s session on the human,
legal, and technological challenges of cold case
investigations.
Can you tell us about your role and
responsibilities as Justice and Criminal Affairs
Advisor at the Ministry of the Interior? How does
your previous experience as Head of the “Cold
Cases” Unit for serial or unsolved crimes tie into
your work today?
I have been a magistrate, i.e. a judge and
prosecutor, for 31 years, with 24 years of highly
diverse professional experience in the courts
of mainland France and Guadeloupe, as well as
six years at the Ministry of Justice working on
European and international matters.
I am very honoured by the successive trust placed
in me by the two Ministers of the Interior over the
past year. My legal expertise and knowledge of
the judicial system enable me to facilitate the
criminal justice process. The national police and
gendarmerie work closely under the authority of
judges and public prosecutors in the context of
criminal investigations.
THE HUMANITY OF JUDGES
AND INVESTIGATORS MUST
REMAIN A CORE VALUE.
WE MUST NEVER BECOME
‘MASTERS OF SILENCE’
During this exciting year, I have had the
opportunity to contribute to the legislative work
on the law of 13 June 2025 to free France from
the grip of drug trafficking, and to assist the
Minister of the Interior in the Senate and the
National Assembly on measures eagerly awaited
by investigators to rearm the State and better
combat organised crime.
My previous role as head of the cold cases unit at
the Nanterre Judicial Court is particularly valuable
in these new advisory roles, as it has given me an
THE OFFICIAL SHOW DAILY / #02 / WEDNESDAY 19 NOVEMBER 2025

Caroline Gontran
Justice and Criminal Affairs Advisor at the French Ministry of the Interior
and former head of France’s “Cold Cases” Unit
even greater appreciation of the importance
of the initial investigative work carried out by
investigation services and the ongoing pain of
the families of the victims of these unpunished
crimes.
The humanity of judges and investigators must
remain a core value. We must never become
‘masters of silence’, as the writer Irène Frain
refers to the police and the justice system
in her book Un crime sans importance (An
Unimportant Crime).
The reopening of unsolved cases has become
a strong societal demand. From a justice
and criminal affairs perspective, how is the
Ministry of the Interior working to strengthen
the capacity to investigate these cases?
This expectation is legitimate because impunity
for the most serious crimes is unacceptable
in society, especially when the victims are
vulnerable. On 1 March 2022, the specialised
investigation services of the Ministry of the
Interior gave their full support to the creation of
the first national judicial centre, the first of its
kind in the world.
The initial aim was to quickly create a criminal
database, which did not exist in other countries:
the Central Office for the Suppression of
Violence against Persons (OCRVP - Office
Central pour la Répression des Violences aux
Personnes) has thus compiled a list of unsolved
crimes in France and is continuing this work.
Identifying them makes it possible to make
connections.
The OCRVP has initiated genetic genealogy
in association with the Federal Bureau of
Investigation (FBI) in the United States.
The criminal investigation brigade of the Paris
police prefecture and the National Gendarmerie
had already created specialised units, as
these are different types of investigations that
require a second perspective, without prejudice
or judgement on the first investigation.
THE INTEGRATION OF AI
INTO INVESTIGATIONS,
PROVIDED IT IS LEGALLY
REGULATED, WILL
REVOLUTIONISE THE
WAY THE MOST COMPLEX
CRIMES ARE SOLVED
Similarly, the Ministry of the Interior offers its
website to host appeals for witnesses by judges
and prosecutors from the ‘En quête d’indices’
(Search for Clues) unit, filmed and edited by
the Ministry of the Interior’s communications
department. I had prepared the agreement
between the Ministries of Justice and the
Interior within the unit, a precursor to my role as
liaison magistrate between the two ministries.
Looking ahead, how do you envision the
integration of AI and forensic innovation
shaping the future of criminal justice in
France?
The integration of AI into investigations,
provided it is legally regulated, will revolutionise
the way the most complex crimes are solved,
particularly those where there is no link
between the perpetrator and the victim.
Despite the commitment of police officers and
gendarmes, human memory is unable to absorb
all the details (some of which are crucial),
contained in the thousands of reports written
by different investigators.
The days of the little notebook are over.
Reasoning, logic and powers of deduction will
remain at the heart of a criminal investigator’s
work, but the way in which diverse data is
processed will dramatically increase the speed
with which cases are solved. The same applies
to all large-scale investigations, organised
crime and terrorism
En Quête
d’indices
The “En Quête d’Indices” (Search
for Clues) initiative, launched
by the French Ministry of the
Interior and Ministry of Justice,
invites the public to share any
information or recollections,
however uncertain, to assist
cold-case investigations handled
by the serial and unresolved
crimes unit. The website features
videos and details about ongoing
cases, as well as guidance
on how citizens can help the
police with their investigations:

Precision in focus:
Mission-driven optics from KAHLES
With 127 years of expertise in long-range optics, KAHLES is
highlighting two of its latest innovations at Milipol Paris: the
K18i-2 and the K540i riflescopes. Both models deliver precision
and visual control when conditions leave no room for error.
The K18i-2 (1–8x24i) is
engineered for speed, situational
awareness and target acquisition.
Its VISIONFLEX optical system
provides a 17.6 per cent wider
field of view and a forgiving
eyebox that remains stable under
stress. The true 1× magnification
supports a natural, instinctive
view with both eyes open, while
MAXLIGHT illumination
maintains reticle visibility in
extreme backlight or urban glare.
The K540i (5–40x56i) embodies
the upper end of precision
performance. KHALES promises
an exceptional field of view at
high magnification, giving the user
an enhanced sense of space and
control, essential for identifying,
engaging and correcting at long
ranges. Paired with a refined
mechanical system and first class
optical resolution, it delivers
excellent detail recognition and
reliable tracking across conditions
and distances.
Together these riflescopes
illustrate how the brand’s ongoing
refinement translates into
practical operational advantage.
Each reflects KAHLES’ aim to
create intuitively simple products
built for focus, precision and
purpose-built performance.
Visitors to Milipol Paris can
experience the K18i-2 and K540i
at the KAHLES stand, where the
company will showcase its latest
achievements in tactical optical
engineering
