<p>Facial recognition software is a new and potentially valuable law enforcement tool
in reducing crime and protecting the public. The Surveillance Camera Code of Practice

College of Policing’s Authorised Professional Practice governs the retention of facial
images. The Government also plans to improve independent oversight and governance
of police use of the technology.</p>
