- The Detroit Police Department (DPD) has been prohibited from using facial recognition technology as the sole basis for making arrests. This decision was made by the Detroit Board of Police Commissioners, who cited concerns over the accuracy and potential biases of facial recognition systems, particularly for people of color.

- The new policy requires the DPD to use other investigative methods, such as witness statements, physical evidence, and traditional investigative techniques, to corroborate any facial recognition matches before making an arrest. This is intended to prevent wrongful arrests and ensure that facial recognition is used as a tool to support investigations, rather than as the primary basis for law enforcement actions.

- The decision to restrict the use of facial recognition technology in Detroit is part of a growing trend among cities and states to impose greater oversight and regulations on the use of this technology by law enforcement. Proponents argue that these measures are necessary to protect civil liberties and prevent the misuse of facial recognition, while critics contend that the technology can be a valuable tool for public safety when used responsibly.
