Telegraph: British police arrest suspect spotted with facial recognition technology
Hyphen + posted a topic in UK Policing News
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/2017/06/07/british-police-arrest-suspect-spotted-facial-recognition-technology/ Saw this mentioned this morning, quite interesting to read. I know it was discussed recently about trying to use facial technology with body cam but seems it is being trialled with smart cameras. If used correctly it could be quite valuable especially when mentioned about football crowds and tracking persons after disorder etc.- 2 replies

I'm looking at sourcing some form of night vision technology for a response field. Searching for missing people etc Just wondering if anyone has any ideas or recommendations. Obviously it's highly budget dependant and you have come up with a few ideas but I thought I would check with others.

So my force issues us with a natty Samsung gadget that has virtually replaced all paperwork that needs to be taken out of the nick. This includes the PNB. Our ePNB has the ability to use hotkeys to insert predefined text so people are using it for the DASH questions, contemp interviews, arrest notes, etc. So, PolCommers, what else could we use the hotkeys for?

Hi all, I work for West Yorkshire Police currently as a SC, however I don't get issued with a BB (some SC's do get issued them (of the same rank as me) but i don't) I was just wondering if you can use your own BB and get force email set up on that because i'm only at my station to check emails twice a month or so! If not can you request one? I don't want access to anything more than me email, but i have no idea if you can get this set up on your own BB or whatever. Thanks in advance, Hannah x

Did anyone else watch Charlie Brooker's mini-series Black Mirror? There are three drama-comedy episodes, each of which deals with certain aspects of modern society and its relationship with technology. They deal with the subject matter quite cynically - as you might expect from Brooker - but there is a good balance between the drama and comedy. I thoroughly enjoyed the series anyway and thought I'd bring to the attention of folks who may have missed it (as I did, praise be to 4od!). In order of best to worst (in my opinion), episode number... 3. 'The Entire History of You' - "In the near future, everyone has access to a memory implant that records everything they do, see and hear - a sort of Sky Plus for the brain. You need never forget a face again... but is that always a good thing?" (Written by 'Peep Show' writer, so some excellent dialogue). 2. '15 Million Merits' - "a satire on entertainment shows and our insatiable thirst for distraction set in a sarcastic version of a future reality. In this world, everyone is confined to a life of strange physical drudgery. The only way to escape this life is to enter the 'Hot Shot' talent show and pray you can impress the judges. 1. 'The National Anthem' - "The first episode is a political thriller in which fictional Prime Minister Michael Callow faces a huge and shocking dilemma when Princess Susannah, a much-loved member of the Royal Family, is kidnapped." http://www.channel4.com/programmes/black-mirror/4od

I've just come across these PDF's produced by IAM (Institute of Advanced Motorists) showing the effects of mobile phone, and particularly smart phone, usage whilst driving. There are some interesting comparisons to drink/drug driving in the documents, too. The summary is here: http://www.iam.org.u...udy-booklet.pdf The full research is here: http://www.iam.org.u...R592_secure.pdf
