According to the police they will only be turned on when officers are in the area and in a position to make an arrest if a criminal is spotted.<\/p>\n<p>The installation follows a two-year trial in the area where police vans fitted with the camera have been patrolling the streets matching passersby to its database of suspects or criminals, leading to hundreds of arrests. The Met claims the system can alert them in seconds if a wanted wrong&#8217;un is spotted, and if the person gets the all-clear, the image of their face will be deleted.<\/p>\n<div class=\"promo_article\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/regmedia.co.uk\/2023\/05\/25\/shutterstock_met_camera.jpg?x=174&amp;amp;y=115&amp;amp;crop=1\" width=\"174\" height=\"115\" alt=\"met police using facial recog cameras\"><\/p>\n<h2 title=\"Tech used at King's Coronation employs higher thresholds on once-only watch-lists, Met tells MPs\">Facial recog system used by Met Police shows racial bias at low thresholds<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.com\/2023\/05\/25\/facial_recognition_system_used_by\/\"><span>READ MORE<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<p>&#8220;I am currently working with the central team to install fixed LFR cameras in Croydon town center,&#8221; Mitch Carr, the police force&#8217;s neighborhood policing superintendent, told local leaders, the Times <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thetimes.com\/uk\/london\/article\/croydon-to-get-uks-first-permanent-facial-recognition-cameras-0b6hhxhc7\">reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This will mean our use of LFR technology will be far more embedded as a &#8216;business as usual&#8217; approach rather than relying on the availability of the LFR vans that are in high demand across London.
