Among the tools available to modern policing, live facial recognition (LFR) technology has been one of the most closely scrutinised. Its use brings significant opportunities to locate wanted offenders, some of whom have been missing for many years, and to enhance the supervision of those on court-imposed conditions, such as Registered Sex Offenders (RSOs), enabling us to better protect the public.
