Résumé
"The attached is the BlueBear evaluation report, a collaborative project between the Canadian Police Research Centre, VisionSphere Technologies Inc. and three Ontario municipal police agencies - Chatham-Kent, York Region and Windsor. Pilot Project BlueBear demonstrated that electronic mug-shot searches, distributed across multiple police services, is an effective tool in identifying suspects and offenders. This Canadian built technology, using facial identification, secure distributed search and information-sharing software, which is now able to provide linkages to Provincial and Federal criminal justice databases, can be a strong step forward in the ongoing effort to provide our police services with the right tools to make our cities and provinces safer places to work and live."
