This recruitment will help support our unprecedented growth in Live Facial Recognition Capability (LFR). Training will be given where appropriate.
Live Facial Recognition
Live facial recognition (LFR) has become a key example of how the Metropolitan Police is embracing innovation to meet the demands of modern policing. Its successful deployment has supported the identification and arrest of individuals wanted for serious offences, improved operational efficiency, and strengthened public protection. For candidates applying to join the Met, LFR reflects the organisation’s commitment to using evidence-based technology responsibly, balancing effectiveness with ethical oversight, transparency, and public confidence. The continued development of this capability highlights the importance of professionalism, accountability, and adaptability — qualities that are central to roles within the Metropolitan Police.
