police sketches
Witness-described facial renderings
Police sketches are drawings of criminal suspects created from witness descriptions, used to help identify and locate wanted individuals.
A forensic artist or computer program generates the image based on details like facial features, hair, and distinguishing marks.
The sketches appear on wanted posters, news broadcasts, and social media: Police released a sketch of the robbery suspect.
Despite their roughness, they sometimes lead to identifications and arrests.
