LFR Live facial recognition

Dear residents Met engagement members , 

On 31st July, officers were deploying Live Facial Recognition Technology to crime hotspot in Redbridge borough. 

Police officers are using Live Facial Recognition (LFR) technology to find people who are wanted by the police or the courts.

If you pass through the LFR system your facial biometric data will be processed.

There is no legal requirement for you to pass the LFR system. If you do , then unless an alert is triggered the LFR system will immediately and automatically delete your biometric data.
