By leveraging ImageWare's biometric facial recognition and digital composite sketching technology, the Ogden City Police Department can streamline current law enforcement identification procedures by allowing officers to conduct facial recognition searches against its existing records management system (RMS), as well as composites created using digital composite sketching technology. Coupled with NEC's AFIS, which enables local law enforcement to maintain a fingerprint database that will receive and send fingerprints electronically, they are also able to quickly search not only fingerprints but facial images with ImageWare's facial recognition technology.
"Law Enforcement agencies around the world are seeing the benefits image, facial and related recognition technologies are having on their ability to identify criminals, and we are pleased to contribute our expertise in this area for the Ogden City Police Department," said Jim Miller, chairman and chief executive officer, ImageWare Systems. "We are confident that our solutions will function on the highest level of speed and accuracy and will become an invaluable tool for the Ogden Police Department along with the Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS) NEC developed."
