Abstract:One of the applications within the phenomenon of fast technological changes, is facial recognition. A facial recognition system uses face detection to identify a person. Facial recognition systems are being deployed in several areas including the area of public safety and recent application in relation to the global Covid pandemic. The application of facial recognition raises some concerns which resulted in the need for governance around this technology. Thus, the purpose of this study is to create a risk governance method, the Facial Recognition for Public Safety (FRPS) risk governance method, for decision making by municipalities in order to mitigate the risks around using facial recognition for public safety. The FRPS risk governance method gives an overview of the expected risks for municipalities on using facial recognition for public safety as a starting point towards assessing these risks. The FRPS risk governance method is developed based on a systematic literature research and a research from different expert perspectives in the areas of risk management, privacy, security, and/or facial recognition in order to elaborate on the knowledge which is found in the literature. Based on this research, the FRPS risk governance method is described in the analysis part and a visualization of the method is created and displayed in the sixth chapter. The method should be read as a method containing aspects within the risk governance process which need to be seriously considered. After all, there should be taken into consideration that there should be further research on the method in order to further validate it and develop it into an applicable method.
