==Description==
<blockquote>Currently, Poland has no digital facial image databases that could easily be made available for FR in relation to criminal investigations. The only database that includes facial images in relation to criminal investigation is known as the Krajowy System Informacyjny Policji (KSIP) [Police National Information System]. The organisation responsible for the KSIP is Biuro Wywiadu i informacji Kryminalistycznych [Office of Intelligence and Forensic Information] of the General Police Headquarters of Poland.

The KSIP database contains a wide range of data including images of suspects, individuals that pose a threat to the general public, missing persons, dead bodies, and images acquired during police operations (e.g. CCTV footage and photographs from social media). The quality and format of these images show considerable variation.

The recording of mugshots has been standardised in Poland and facial images are captured from the front and both sides. The majority of mugshots are recorded with the use of equipment developed locally. However, such equipment is not available at all Polish Police stations.

Facial images are held in the database for time periods as stipulated in the legislation.[[CiteRef::sirgmetsSummaryReportProject2021]]</blockquote>
