The Edmonton Police Service is testing new body-worn camera technology powered by machine learning, aiming to help officers in the field identify “dangerous” individuals and those with outstanding arrest warrants for serious crimes.
To do that, the police service said the mug shots of nearly 7,000 individuals have been compiled into a database for officers to assess the real-time effectiveness of the facial recognition body-worn cameras provided by public safety technology company Axon Enterprise Inc.
