Live Facial Recognition: Separating Fact From Fiction

Facial recognition technology is one of the most talked about – and often misunderstood – tools used in public safety. It’s a topic that sparks debate, headlines, and plenty of confusion.

This video sets the record straight by separating fact from fiction about how facial recognition is being used today, and explaining the important role it plays in supporting safer, smarter communities.

Learn about the three main types of facial recognition – Live, Retrospective, and Operator-Initiated – and how each is used responsibly as an investigative tool under strict legal and ethical standards.

Discover how local authorities are using this technology to prevent anti-social behaviour, reduce crime, and protect vulnerable people – all while helping to build safer, more connected public spaces.
