High-profile adopter of live facial recognition, used as a pro-expansion case study
In December 2025, the Edmonton Police Service (EPS) in Alberta, Canada, began a month-long “proof of concept” in which Axon body-worn cameras run third‑party facial-recognition software to scan passersby against a tightly scoped yet sizable watchlist: 6,341 people flagged in EPS systems for risks such as “violent or assaultive,” “armed and dangerous,” or “high‑risk offender,” plus 724 individuals with serious arrest warrants, for roughly 7,000 faces in total. Officers do not receive real-time alerts during the pilot; instead, footage is analyzed afterward to test accuracy and workflows.
