Abstract

A method for reducing violence within crowded venues is provided. The method includes reading license plates of vehicles passing into entry ports of a parking area, and capturing facial images of persons seeking admission to the venue. A computer compares such license plates to a database of vehicle license plates associated with persons with past histories of violence. A computer also compares captured facial images to a database of facial data for persons with past violent histories. Upon detecting a match, the computer creates an alert presented to law enforcement officers to facilitate detention of such persons for investigation. Information recorded on entry tickets is scanned and saved together with the facial image of the ticket holder. If a violent act occurs, cameras within the venue capture facial images of participants. The computer matches such participants to stored identifying data to assist in the identification and apprehension of such persons.

Claims23

Dependent claims

A system for providing security, the system comprising:

at least one camera configured to capture a photographic image of a person in view of the at least one camera;
and
a computer circuit configure to:
receive the captured photographic image of the person in view of at least one camera,
compare the captured photographic image of the person in view of the at least one camera to facial images compiled in a database of facial images of persons of interest to detect a likely match, and
control to alert at least one of one or more law enforcement officers or one or more security personnel of a detection of a likely match between the captured photographic image of the person in view of the at least one camera and a facial image of a person of interest,
wherein computer circuit, to compare the captured photographic image of the person in view of the at least one camera, is further configured to transmit the captured photographic image of the person in view of the at least one camera to the database and, in response, receive an alert that the person in view of the at least one camera is the person of interest if the likely match is detected between the captured photographic image of the person in view of the at least one camera and the facial image of the person of interest, and
wherein the system is controlled by a first party and the database is controlled by a second party.
