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

Use your location or 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.
Current Coverage:
