Live Facial Recognition (LFR) vans are set to come to Slough tomorrow. 

Police have said that the LFR vans will be operating on Slough High Street on Thursday, July 22. 

A specialist LFR team will be working with local officers to identify known suspects, deter crime and help keep communities safer. 

A spokesperson for Thames Valley Police said: "We make sure to let you know before our LFR vans are in use, so everyone stays informed about what’s happening.

"While this can mean some individuals choose to avoid us, the vans can help deter crime and keep the area safer.

"Preventing crime is just as important as catching those who break the law."

The force added that members of the public are welcome to go and chat to the team if they have any questions or would like to see how the technology works. 

The spokesperson added: "We’re always happy to show you around and explain how LFR is used fairly and responsibly."
