«Super-Recognizer» for the municipal police of Winterthur! What seems like an action movie will come true from January 2023. At the beginning of the year, Winterthur was the first police force in Switzerland to employ a “super-recognizer”. These are people who are extremely good and quick at memorizing and comparing unfamiliar faces.
As the “NZZ” reports, a police officer from Winterthur will take over the job. Previously he was an employee of another municipality. This police officer has already proved his skill in past cases and tests.
It takes him two minutes to select a face from a hundred images that he has previously seen on a surveillance camera. It is not yet clear when it will be used, but it is divided into investigation and prevention.
