The Watchlist

The system says it's a match. Is it?
Your Role

Verification Officer · Regional Police Operations Center

Transit-hub cameras feed a facial-recognition system called VigilMatch. Whenever VigilMatch thinks it has found someone on the regional watchlist, the case lands in your queue: a camera capture, the watchlist record it thinks matches, and a similarity verdict.

Your job is to verify. For each case you have three options: confirm the match, reject the match, or flag it for a second reviewer when you are not sure. You have 25 seconds per case. If the clock runs out, the queue does not wait: the case is auto-confirmed and moves on without you, the way a rubber stamp would.

Remote biometric identification is listed as high-risk in Annex III of the EU AI Act. Eight cases are waiting. Look closely: the system is right most of the time, which is exactly what makes the times it is wrong easy to miss.
