Police – Biometrics and Facial Recognition

Project description

A custody image is evidence. It has to be taken after the PACE checks, on the webcam already bolted to the suite, and it has to be the same image the rest of the programme will rely on later.

Inside a larger police IT team we built the next-generation Video Witness interface: the officer works the checks, the camera captures the still, and the system looks for biometric markers, all on a multi-tier Microsoft stack. We were a small unit on that programme, and the national custody system around our interface was built by the wider team.
