The software is being used by the Leicestershire Police, it will be trialled for the next six months, and it works by comparing measurements between key facial features.

Chief Inspector Chris Cockerill said: “We’re very proud to be the first UK Police force to evaluate this new system. Initial results have been very promising and we’re looking forward to seeing what can be achieved throughout the six month trial.”

At the moment,the results of the facial recongition technology are not able to be used in court, but the technology can be used to track down suspects.
