"Facial recognition will automatically identify images of wanted criminals. The video recognition system will link into a national police database, called Find, for storing and transmitting facial images of a person and their criminal history. The service will also make the images and information available in mobile format to police officers on the beat, along with mobile fingerprint checking capability."
