The Mumbai police are working on introducing a Facial Recognition System (FRS)—a biometric technology that identifies individuals using their facial features—to enhance the city’s security apparatus.

Although discussions are still in the early stages, police stations in South Mumbai have been asked to identify high-footfall locations where CCTV cameras equipped with facial recognition technology can be installed, a senior Mumbai police officer told mid-day on condition of anonymity.
 
The AI-driven system identifies individuals by analysing distinct facial features and contours. Initially available only as computer software, facial recognition technology has now expanded to mobile devices and other digital applications.
