LONDON, Dec 4 (Reuters) - Use of facial recognition technology will be expanded across Britain's police forces to help track down criminals, the government said on Thursday, as it proposed a new body to oversee its use.
The technology is already used by London's Metropolitan Police, which has made 1,300 arrests using facial recognition in the last two years, including rapists, domestic abusers and violent criminals, and found more than 100 sex offenders who had breached their licence conditions.
