Face Recognition Policy Development Template for Use in Criminal Intelligence and Investigative Activities

This policy development template was developed by state, local, and federal law enforcement, privacy, and criminal justice partners to provide law enforcement, fusion centers, and other public safety agencies with a framework for developing face recognition policies that comply with applicable laws, reduce privacy risks, implement minimum required training for authorized users and examiners, and establish entity accountability and oversight. In addition, this template includes policy provisions on collection, access, use, dissemination, data quality, security, redress, retention and purging, and accountability and enforcement, with an overall focus on ensuring the integration of P/CRCL protections in face recognition processes.
