The Police Force: City of Los Angeles
The position on facial recognition software:
- Officers & detectives are prohibited from using outside facial recognition platforms in their investigations
- They can continue to use Los Angeles County Regional Identification System which relies on criminal booking photos
- Los Angeles Times reports LAPD has used facial recognition software 30,000 times since 2009
The catalyst: Officers had used third party familial recognition software without permission
