More than 8,000 individuals wanted by law enforcement, including those on Russia’s federal wanted list, have been identified and apprehended in the Novosibirsk Region over the past three years thanks to AI-powered video analytics developed by NtechLab, a technology partner of Rostec. In the first ten months of 2026 alone, the technology helped law enforcement agencies apprehend nearly 4,000 suspects.

NtechLab’s FindFace Multi neural network operates within the secure infrastructure of the Safe City system. The technology analyzes video streams from surveillance cameras installed in busy public areas and can identify individuals on wanted lists in a matter of fractions of a second. Its facial recognition accuracy exceeds 99.9%.

"The system continues to evolve and deliver impressive results. It currently covers 5,000 cameras. In 2025 alone, AI-powered video analytics helped law enforcement agencies apprehend nearly 3,000 individuals wanted for crimes — three times as many as in 2024. In the first ten months of 2026, the technology assisted in the apprehension of approximately 4,000 suspects," said Sergey Tsukar, Minister of Digital Development and Communications of the Novosibirsk Region.

Since April 2025, FindFace Multi has also been used in the Novosibirsk Region to help locate missing children. To date, the technology has helped find more than 260 children. The “Children 112” service enables local residents to assist in the search for missing children by submitting their photographs to law enforcement agencies. The images are then promptly uploaded to the Safe City system for analysis.

NtechLab’s facial recognition solutions are deployed across several major Russian regions, including the Nizhny Novgorod and Samara Regions, Krasnodar Territory, the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Area, and the North Caucasus Federal District. The company has also recently launched its first projects in the Kaluga Region.
