Live Facial Recognition: Separating Fact from Fiction – Watchlists

Facial recognition technology compares real-time camera feeds against a ‘persons of interest’ watchlist.

Contrary to common misconception, facial recognition watchlists do not include everyone with a criminal record – they are intelligence-led, time-limited, and focused on keeping communities safe.

In the latest video in our series, ‘Live Facial Recognition: Separating Fact from Fiction’, Andrew Foster, Managing Director of Public Services at North, explains how watchlists are created, why they are used, and the strict legal and ethical standards they meet.

Watch the video to learn how this technology helps local authorities reduce crime, prevent anti-social behaviour, and protect vulnerable people.
