Essex police is trialing facial recognition software in the pursuit of crooks.
The police will be using images generated from CCTV footage, sketches and e-fits to match against a database of facial images to identify suspects.
The experiment will be using a facial biometrics system which automates the matching process with Essex police's 160,000 strong database.
Southend police station has already been using a video witness system for some time, which relies on recorded CCTV images compared with the database.
The technology will be provided by Securicor Information Systems (SIS) and Visionics.
