Abstract
A monitoring system for a vehicle environment includes a biometric sensor that captures biometric information of a participant, a database that stores biometric data of a security event cohort, and control circuitry in communication with the biometric sensor. The control circuitry is configured to compare the biometric information to the biometric data to detect one or more matches, communicate an indication of a result of the comparison of the biometric information to the biometric data in one of a first privacy mode and a second privacy mode, and select between the first privacy mode and the second privacy mode based on the result.
