The Use of Facial Recognition Technology By Law Enforcement in Europe: A Non-Orwellian Draft Proposal
The European legal framework is not devoid of norms that are directly or indirectly applicable to facial recognition technology for identification purposes within law enforcement. However, these various norms, which have different targets and are from multiple sources, create a kind of legal patchwork that could undermine the lawful use of this technology in criminal investigations. This paper advocates the creation of a specific law on the use of facial recognition technology for identification in law enforcement, based on existing regulations, to specifically address the pressing issues arising in this domain. The ultimate aim is to allow its use under certain conditions and to protect the rights of the people involved, but also to provide law enforcement authorities with the necessary tools to combat serious crimes.

Enraged Americans Expected Uvalde Cops to Fight to the Death to Stop Elementary School Massacre. They Had No Legal Duty to Act.
USA: The law enforcement narrative about precisely what occurred this Tuesday when gunman Salvador Ramos killed 19 children and two teachers at a Uvalde, Texas elementary school has changed, changed, and changed again, but one thing has not: the law. And the law does not require police officers to rush guns-blazing into any dangerous situation, despite the fact that officers do sometimes put themselves in harm’s way to save innocent lives.

If you want to protect the front line, choose vanilla

Meeting Andy Doran, Policing Enterprise Account Executive, Salesforce
Policing Insight and PolicingTV Publisher Bernard Rix recently met former Lancashire Police Chief Inspector Andy Doran for a Policing Friendship Tour walk-chat-and-video in the beautiful grounds of Bramall Hall near Manchester, England. Andy served for sixteen years as a police officer in Greater Manchester Police and Lancashire Police, latterly leading for Lancashire on Digital and Innovation. He's recently joined Salesforce on a career break, to play a leading part in the company's launch of their services into the UK policing market.  Andy and Bernard discuss Andy's policing career, and explore what led Andy to take the leap from public to private sector. Does he feel he's done the right thing? Is there such a thing as "public service" in a private company? And might he one day be tempted to reclaim his warrant card, and put on a police uniform once again?
