Super Recognisers in the German Capital

The Association is pleased to announce that the Berlin Police are testing their officers for Super Recogniser skills.   This news is contained in this video (around 1 hour 18 minutes) presented by Dr Meike Ramon, as part of the EU Project on Urban Security regarding Super Recognisers:

Dr Ramon appears to claim that this will be the first collaboration between academia and police in this field, but the Association can confirm that from 2010 there was several years of work by Greenwich, Bournemouth, Leeds and other universities with the Metropolitan Police and a number of research papers (and TV documentaries) were produced.   The Super Recogniser tests used by Dr Josh Davis (Greenwich) were developed as part of the EU Project "LASIE", where his university, Scotland Yard and the Madrid Police were partners.

The Association wishes the Berlin Police and Dr Ramon every success and is ready to assist when required. And, of course, results from previous collaborations will be shared to assist this new project.
