Career
Lindsey Chiswick joined the Metropolitan Police in 2018.[1][2] She is the National Police Chiefs' Council Lead on Facial Recognition.[3] She is an advocate for the use of technology to enhance public safety at reduced costs.[1][4] Facial recognition was developed for use in the Metropolitan Police with South Wales Police and the National Physical Laboratory.[5] Chiswick proposed that facial recognition technology could be used in transport hubs, football grounds and criminal activity hotspots.[5] She stated that the trust of the public was vital for the system.[6]
In 2025, Chiswick explained that live facial recognition had been used in 1,000 arrests over the course of a year, with over 25% being for violence against women and girls.[7] A report released by Metropolitan Police found that 85% of Londoners were in favour of using LFR, and that the false alert rate was 0.0003% after three million faces had been scanned.[7] The pressure group Resistance Kitchen described Chiswick's claims about the false alert rate in Policing Insight online magazine as delusional.[8] LFR was deployed at the 2025 Notting Hill Carnival, with over half of the arrests being registered sex offenders.[7]
