What is the minimum number of photos required in a photo array?

The correct answer is: 6

The minimum number of photos required in a photo array is established as six. This standard is set to enhance the reliability and effectiveness of the identification process during investigations. By utilizing six images, law enforcement can present a sufficient variety of options to the witness while minimizing the chances of false identifications. A larger number of photos helps to reduce the likelihood that the witness is simply picking the most familiar or obvious face, as opposed to making a more accurate identification based on memory. This practice aligns with best practices in eyewitness identification procedures, ensuring that photo arrays are both thorough and fair.
