Facial Recognition

Ask The Expert

Roger Rodriguez

Manager of Image Analytics

Roger served over 20 years with the NYPD, where he spearheaded the NYPD’s first dedicated facial recognition unit. The unit has conducted more than 8,500 facial recognition investigations, with over 3,000 possible matches and approximately 2,000 arrests. Roger’s enhancement techniques are now recognized worldwide and have changed law enforcement’s approach to the utilization of facial recognition technology.

BLACKED OUT


1. BLACKED OUT
14 up, 1 down  
Also refers to rolling up to a call-in progress with all of your vehicle lights turned off. Many agencies use "black-out switches" that will deactivate your brake lights. You can turn off all of your lights as you approach, and also kill your brake lights, so the light doesn't announce your arrival. Some officers cruise alleys "blacked out" looking for taggers, burglars, hookers, etc. Sometimes referred to as stealth mode.

2. BLACKED OUT
3 up, 3 down  
When all units are on calls for service and calls are holding, and there are no units who can clear for priority calls, the shift is "blacked out".
