In recent times it has become apparent that data sharing capabilities across state departments and law enforcement agencies is an issue, especially in terms of tracking, monitoring, and identifying persons of interest. There is a need to assess the image capture process, as well as sharing capabilities, and to incorporate commercially available facial recognition technology to reduce the errors in identifying persons of interest. The objective of this project is to evaluate legacy face images, assess and standardize the image capture process across Indiana Department of Corrections (DOC) agencies, integrate facial recognition to link face databases, and integrate mobile devices in law enforcement vehicles for face recognition. This research will lead to improvements in the efficiency and quality of the face image capture process in Indiana’s DOC facilities and BMV branches and facilitate image sharing capabilities across Indiana state agencies
