Case Study: Oxford Police Department achieves rapid suspect identification and fewer misidentifications with Clearview AI

Oxford Police Department Provides Investigative Leads to FBI, Following The U.S. Capitol Attacks

The Oxford Police Department faced the challenge of helping the FBI identify suspects from the U.S. Capitol attack while avoiding the prevalent issue of inaccurate eyewitness misidentifications, which can derail investigations. To address this, they turned to the facial recognition tool from vendor Clearview AI.

Using Clearview AI’s facial recognition technology, which searches against a vast database of public images, a sergeant was able to develop accurate investigative leads from photos provided by the FBI. This solution from Clearview AI helped the department forward solid leads to the FBI without misidentifying innocent people, contributing to the subsequent charging of over 200 individuals and saving the agency significant time and resources.
