Metropolitan Police deploy facial recognition at Oxford Circus

1 min read

The Metropolitan Police have deployed a facial recognition system at Oxford Circus. London mayor Sir Sadiq Khan said the capital had made strides tackling violent crime and that his record investment in the Met, the hard work of officers and London's Violence Reduction Unit had driven further significant reductions in neighbourhood crime across London. The deployment aligns with the mayor's account of falling neighbourhood crime and increased policing resources, and it may affect how police monitor busy areas and report crime trends in the near term.
