iPhone App Uses Facial Recognition to Identify Criminals

The Mobile Offender Recognition and Identification System, or MORIS™, iPhone app is designed to assist police officers with positively identifying offenders, suspects, gang members, convicted sex offenders and illegal aliens in seconds.

Implemented by the Plymouth County Sheriff’s Department and City of Brockton Police Department in Massachusetts, the app will "enhance the capabilities of our existing fingerprint and iris recognition biometric systems," said City of Brockton Police Chief William K. Conlon.

Officers will be able to enroll and compare the unique descriptive features contained in a face against a database to determine identity and access criminal information in seconds.

MORIS employs a full facial recognition system and, in the future, will incorporate iris recognition and fingerprint-matching capabilities.
