Your Local Safer Neighbourhood Team Supporting Live Facial Recognition Operation at Clapham Junction

On 4 September 2026, your local Safer Neighbourhood Teams supported a Live Facial Recognition (LFR) operation at Clapham Junction Station as part of the Metropolitan Police's ongoing efforts to identify wanted offenders and keep our communities safe.

The operation delivered positive results, with:

✅ 7 arrests made

✅ Wanted individuals identified and located

✅ Positive engagement with members of the public

Live Facial Recognition helps officers identify individuals who are wanted by police, enabling swift and effective action to be taken where appropriate. The technology is used alongside police officers and is subject to strict legal and oversight frameworks.

Operations such as these help protect local communities, support ongoing investigations and ensure those wanted by police are brought to justice.

Thank you to everyone who engaged with officers during the operation.
