A tech firm is offering police a capability to identify and pull up information on people experiencing homeless through facial recognition technology, according to a product brochure reviewed by Motherboard. The company markets the product as being a tool to use against "problems" such as “degradation of a city's culture,” “poor hygiene (use street as a restroom),” and “unchecked predatory behavior.”

“Police use ODIN facial recognition to identify even non-verbal or intoxicated individuals,” the brochure from surveillance firm ODIN Intelligence reads. ODIN’s specific homelessness product is called ODIN Homeless Management Information System, or ODIN HMIS. The company states on its website that it partners with the International Association of Chiefs of Police and its website has alleged testimonials from local and federal law enforcement officials for some of its other products. The homelessness product is marketed to “law enforcement, fire departments, [and] other first responders,” the brochure says.
