The search summary states it shows those wanted within a mile of the specified postcode but the Returned results are from over 50 miles away.

Would be nice if we got suspects in the actual search area I put in instead of ones over 20 miles away......useless app

I put in my postcode and it comes up saying, faces within 5 miles of where you live... it then comes up with about 20 pics all from the same area 75miles away. Is there only one police force that uses this site, so they the only ones showing up or is the map screwed up..

Yeah, its all good with the possibility of you ending up as a witness for the prosecution. Then you get murdered. No thanks.

Images are taken from CCTV so are grainy. Could be a very good way to trace and ID people

About this app

*CURRENTLY ONLY SUPPORTED IN THE UK WITH THE FOLLOWING POLICE FORCES: METROPOLITAN POLICE, SURREY, WEST MIDLANDS, BRITISH TRANSPORT POLICE, THAMES VALLEY, NORTHAMPTONSHIRE, HAMPSHIRE, DORSET, HUMBERSIDE, CITY OF LONDON POLICE AND DURHAM.

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.

New features

Current Coverage:
The Facewatch ID app is currently fully supported & approved by the given list of forces and is due for more widespread UK National rollout during 2014.
The new version of Facewatch ID has a new map to select your location, a new gallery to view subjects of interest in your area with the ability to select a distance from your current location. You can now hide images that you don't recognise & give better identity information to the police to help them in their investigations.
