Preferably the detective, I agree both thematically and also as a agency tool for them to integrate (or distract) security. Further, to make it a bit easier to update quickly: Make it a "virtual" corkboard for the following reasons:
1. explains and allows the detective to remotely access it via their VR headset: They're not stuck sitting around in security all round. Alternatively, you could take this in a different direction and make it a security assistant job, but I prefer detective.
2. Make it visually apparent when it's been updated or there's something up on the board via a changing screen sprite (like the clone scanner) You could do this with a corkboard too, but I personally feel that its easier to get someone to visually notice animated sprites (even if they're just a blinking light) than sprites with phased changes (like our current notice boards)
3. If you really wanted to ramp up the scope creep/add to the project later if it's going well, you could tie in with the AI cameras for a "Vague" and occasionally updated "Last seen" for PoI. I'm thinking a minute-updated "X person was seen by camera in X room" you're not taking away the AI's use in more proactive tracking, you're not creating anything particularly powerful (and certainly less powerful than asking the AI) but you do at least give a nice little "hey, maybe go check this area out" indicator for the more investigatory security members.
I would suggest keeping the information relatively simple on the board: PoI's, arrest status, maybe a relatively limited entry on what they did, and maybe a "summary of situation", maybe. Really, it should be something that isn't adding a huge amount of work for anyone maintaining it but still provide an avenue to prevent continuous repetition of information: This is something even as an AI regular security will spend significant amounts of time doing: repeating itself.
EDIT Point 3: Hmm, on reflection this one has a small problem with providing contradictory information against the AI (when the AI might be lying) unless you let them manipulate it, but if you keep the update period for it vague enough I feel like this becomes more like in interesting way to make deductions rather than something you could exploit (because the information is vague enough not to be definitive, just indicatory)
