The publication of booking photos (mugshots) online by law enforcement continues to be debated across the country. It boils down to this difficult argument:

The Public's Right to Know vs. a Person's Right to be Forgotten.

Booking photos can be valuable investigative tools, helping identify suspects, generate leads, and keep communities informed. But as laws and public expectations evolve, many agencies are rethinking how long that information should remain online.

That's why we developed CRIMEWATCH ControlShare™ Technology.

ControlShare™ allows agencies to publish information when it serves a legitimate public safety purpose and later update, redact, remove, or sunset that content based on agency policy, court disposition, or new legislation.

Those changes are automatically reflected across the CRIMEWATCH platform, search engines and connected social media, helping agencies maintain while preventing outdated information from creating a permanent digital footprint.

should give law enforcement the ability to balance transparency with responsible information management.

The recent decision by the Sweetwater County Sheriff's Office (Wyoming) shows this conversation is far from over.
