Case Study: Behind the Badge achieves faster suspect identification with Veritone IDentify

Behind the Badge - Customer Case Study

The Anaheim Police Department faced the labor-intensive challenge of manually comparing crime scene photos and video evidence to existing arrest records to identify potential suspects, a process that could take weeks. To address this, they implemented IDentify, a facial recognition software from vendor Veritone.

The Veritone IDentify solution uses artificial intelligence to quickly compare evidence against a database of known offenders, generating potential matches with a confidence score in minutes instead of weeks. This provided powerful investigatory leads, helping the Anaheim PD and partner agencies like the Santa Ana PD quickly identify and arrest suspects in multiple cases. The success of the program, which generated about 200 potential matches in one instance, is projected to make such AI-based applications a necessity for law enforcement due to the increasing volume of video evidence.
