Live facial recognition (LFR) will be expanded across the UK as part of a government remodel of neighbourhood policing.

The government says this technology will be introduced to catch “high-harm” offenders, with new rules set to be drawn up this autumn to ensure “safeguards and oversight," while balancing public and experts' views on how this tech should be used.

The technology is already in use in some areas of the country but Wednesday's announcement will see a further ten vans equipped with cameras rolled out across seven police forces, Greater Manchester, West Yorkshire, Bedfordshire, Surrey, Sussex, Thames Valley and Hampshire, over the coming weeks.
