Facial recognition software and artificial intelligence can really assist law enforcement and security agencies, but you always need the BEST human to operate and verify these systems - for legal AND ethical reasons. See this article:

Super Recognisers feature on this Canadian Broadcasting Corporation documentary “In Your Face”. It discusses the differences between SRs and those with face blindness. AND it shows the crime fighting abilities of Super Recognisers.
Yenny Seo is an Australian Super Recogniser. In this video see gives an insight into her skill. Note that she has never been employed in law enforcement or security, so she has difficulty recalling names to match to faces. BUT with police, CCTV operators and security officers, they keep records of interactions, so it is easier to match names. In any case, the ability to match several images of a suspect to different crime scenes is still a valuable skill. She also notes that she is unaware of any qualifications. You can be assured that Super Recognisers International (in partnership with the University of Greenwich) offer a course covering not just Super Recogniser assessment, but also data protection legislation, identification law and tactics. Vital to make a natural ability into an operationally deployable skill, which produces admissible evidence.

Following an independent review, the police in New Zealand have decided not to use live AFR to identify offenders. One of the main reasons was a perceived bias against the Maori community. More reasons to utilise HUMAN super recognisers. The report is on this link:
Super Matchers have one of the Super Recogniser skills and are excellent at matching an image to a face (e.g. a passport check) or image to image (CCTV of crime compared to mugshot or arrest photo). Research by the University of Exeter has shown that they may also be good at matching other objects and patterns, including firearms and fingerprints. A short test is included in the article below. All our tests and courses identify Super Recognisers AND Super Matchers.

As automated systems improve, steps will be taken by criminals and researchers to defeat it. This article shows how masks, make-up, visors and other methods are being deployed to frustrate facial recognition systems. All the more reason to utilise HUMAN Super Recognisers. Article below:

The ASR is the professional body representing those who possess the super recogniser skills around the globe. Via our associate scheme, you will be able to access the latest developments in the science of super recognition, browse job opportunities and contact other practitioners from around the globe who share your unique skills and abilities. After a certain period of years in practice, you may even be invited to become a Fellow of the Association.
Have you got an amazing memory for human faces? Your skill could help law enforcement, security companies, Armed Forces or other organisations. You may just want to use your skill for fun OR are simply interested in Super Recognition.
There is NO need to have a background in security, the military or law enforcement. Super Recognisers come from a wide variety of backgrounds.
