Biometrics: The Most Powerful Weapon in the Law Enforcement Agencies’ Arsenal For Expedited Investigations
15 Maio 2023 - 10:53AM
In 2019, an attempted bombing at New York City’s Fulton Street
subway station was successfully and expeditiously thwarted. Through
the use of facial recognition technology, it took only one hour to
identify the suspect - a process that previously would have taken
several hours or even days, and perhaps at that point, more damage
would have been done. Moreover, many believe that the use of facial
recognition could have expedited and solved the Boston Marathon
bombing tragedy investigation more efficiently, by aiding
investigators who reportedly had to sift through 120,000
photos and nearly 13,000 videos before identifying the perpetrator.
There is simply no other form of authentication and
identification as reliable and accurate as biometrics, with its
unsurpassed utility being demonstrated time and time again.
However, many law enforcement agencies are unable to implement
advanced biometric authentication technology due to cost and
resource barriers, hindering their ability to serve their
communities at the highest level. These agencies also struggle with
a lack of real-time information and access to crucial databases to
identify and verify suspects, further slowing the investigative
process.
“In the midst of staff shortages, safety concerns, and increased
job demands, it’s crucial that law enforcement agencies have the
technologies they need to ensure a safer community,” says Craig
Herman, Aware’s chief revenue officer. “Biometrics is the most
accurate identification tool at our disposal and is extremely
important to police departments of all sizes, who can use them
ethically and reliably as part of background checks, criminal
investigations, and mass disaster identification. In addition,
today’s biometric technologies enable strong inter-departmental
collaboration - supporting searches for suspects at the local level
as well as comprehensive regional collections in a single
search/response transaction, enhancing speed in critical
situations.”
