As crime rates continue to rise in Illinois, residents are taking proactive measures to protect themselves and their communities. One way they are doing this is by investing in FACES Pro licenses and becoming certified as Facial Composite Designers.

FACES Pro is a software program used to create composite sketches of suspects in criminal investigations. By learning how to use this software and becoming certified, individuals can assist law enforcement in creating accurate and detailed sketches of suspects, helping to bring criminals to justice.

Here are three examples of how certified facial composite designers are making a difference in Illinois:

  1. In Chicago, a certified designer worked with police to create a composite sketch of a suspect in a string of burglaries. The sketch was distributed to the public, and a tip from a resident led to the suspect's arrest.

  2. In Rockford, a designer assisted in the investigation of a hit-and-run accident. The composite sketch of the suspect helped identify the driver, who was subsequently arrested and charged.

  3. In Peoria, a designer worked with police to create a composite sketch of a suspect in a sexual assault case. The sketch was released to the public, and a tip from a resident led to the suspect's arrest and conviction.

These examples demonstrate the importance of having certified facial composite designers in our communities. Not only do they help bring criminals to justice, but they also provide a sense of security for residents knowing that they are actively working to keep their neighborhoods safe.

Investing in a FACES Pro license and becoming certified as a Facial Composite Designer is not only a smart personal investment, but it's also a way to give back to the community and make a positive impact. With crime rates on the rise in Illinois, now is the time for residents to take action and become a part of the solution.
