5-08/100.00 - Facial Recognition



The purpose of this policy is to establish procedures for the acceptable use of the images (probe and candidate), information, and tools within the facial recognition system.  Facial Recognition shall only be used when there is reasonable suspicion such use will provide information relevant to an active investigation, imminent threat to health or safety (“at-risk”), or to help in the identification of deceased person(s) unable to be identified.  This policy applies to all Department personnel who are granted direct access to the facial recognition system as well as personnel who are permitted to request facial recognition searches.
