Facewatch ID app for iPhone and iPad

Facewatch ID is a free application allowing members of the public in the UK to confidentially identify images issued by the police.

Those already taking advantage of Facewatch ID include the Metropolitan, Surrey, Northamptonshire and Hertfordshire forces. West Midlands Police have recently agreed to use the app across their force area, strongly supported by the Police and Crime Commissioner.

Use your location to enter a postcode, to view persons of interest to the Police, which may be suspected criminals or witnesses to a crime. Remember, it is an offence to give false evidence to the Police.

If you identify any of the images, the application allows you to enter details that are known including name and address. The information is then sent directly, and confidentially, to the UK Police.

Facewatch has been provided with the images by the Police Forces shown on the image ID page and is providing this service on behalf of those Forces.
