Description

Rwanda National Police reports that they use a number of biometric tools and predictive policing methods.

The recent innovations and strategies that increase the efficiency and effectiveness of policing including network analysis, Geographical Information System (GIS), Global Positioning System (GPS), crime mapping, biometrics, fingerprints, DNA research, facial recognition, social media policing and CCTV are part of what Rwanda National Police (RNP) has integrated in its policing approaches to deal with contemporary crimes. RNP has heavily invested in its e-policing systems, IT infrastructures and training of personnel to be IT literate as means and ways to facilitate prevention, detection and investigations of all sorts of crimes 1
