Washington County, OR Sheriff's Office uses facial recognition software for police surveillance
Washington County, OR facial recognition police surveillance
In 2017, the Washington County Sheriff's Office became the first agency in the country to use facial recognition for police surveillance. Officers used Rekognition, Amazon's cloud-based facial image analysis software, to match pictures of suspects against their mugshot database. This software allowed officers to upload pictures directly from their phones and immediately identify suspects with 80% accuracy. This controversial program has been criticized by the ACLU over concerns of privacy.
