Frequently Asked Questions
A secure and simple mechanism for an individual to verify another person is who they claim to be, in this case a citizen validating the identity of a police officer
When a law enforcement office arrives at a location, they show their identity via an app on their mobile device, displaying a digital version of their warrant card. This app generates a unique QR code that can easily be scanned by any member of the public via their own mobile device. This triggers an exchange and validation of cryptographically signed information which is used to verify that the presented identity is valid and current.
For extra security, a PIN number can also be generated. This can be crossed checked on the police force’s website.
By increasing the speed by which an officer's identity can be verified, means that the officer, can quickly get on with the reason for their visit.
