Technological equipment used in the UPSDifferent types of technology used within the police
Facial recognition software
Police and all other law enforcement have begun emerging out with technology that goes to a
point of facial recognition; this is software that's used in cameras, commonly street cameras and
help the police to monitor through video footage and scan people's faces in search for the possible
identification of one of their suspects, this software is run through algorithms and can be effective
in many ways to allow officers to solve crimes and catch the ones responsible.
Benefits
• Has the potential to scan through thousands of people's faces to try and find a match for
who they are looking for.
• It can scrape many hours of time off that It would usually take for officers to begin trying to
identify someone through security footage, especially in the cases if there is a lot to go
through and many faces to try and identify.
• If the correct algorithms are set in place it can lead to the software making an automatic
identification.
• It fully enhances security over large areas and again, takes a big reduction in the time it
normally takes officers to do things manually.
This type of technology is a great advancement in the eyes of the law enforcement, despite some
of the negative impacts it can have and potentially create it's creation is mainly based on the
principle of doing good and placing it in the hands of the police does exactly that.
Sometimes time can often be the enemy for officers on duty and doing their daily job, facial
technology has the ability to remove that enemy, this is because it has the ability to scan through
thousands of faces in large areas in minutes which makes identifying a suspect in hiding much
quicker and helps officers to do better in their job.
It's overall a system connected to a large network of cameras that are placed in all areas of towns
and city's covering different areas and angles and giving visual images of everything and everyone.
It's has the full ability to track multiple people while moving in out and of coverage, wherever that
may be and the police can do this even If they have no other pieces of information on the suspect
they may have identified.
The beauty of this is to allow for surveillance monitoring and gathering of information to allow the
police to make whatever moves deems suitable in accordance to the case that they have.

has an ever growing use by the day.
It simply allows police the be able to gain greater vantage points in the situations of crime scene
work, search and rescues, crowd monitoring and so much more.
It's known that more of the developed forms of this source of equipment have been better
equipped with cameras consisting of thermal imaging and 3D mapping which also help GPS
precision locations.
Benefits
• Allow officers the ability to gain the birds eye view of an area, they can then scan their area
