Thomas County, GA Adopts AwareABIS™ Automated Biometric Identification System
17 November 2021 - 1:05AM
Aware, Inc., (NASDAQ: AWRE), a leading global provider of
biometrics software products, solutions and services, is pleased to
announce that the Thomas County, GA sheriff’s office has installed
its AwareABIS™ Automated Biometric Identification System (ABIS).
Designed for ten-print, palm print, latent print and mug shot
searches, AwareABIS enables law enforcement agencies with advanced
forensic search, analysis and reporting. AwareABIS’s configurable
architecture capability enables data interchange with other law
enforcement systems—such as livescan booking stations and regional
and state systems.
With AwareABIS, Thomas County law enforcement can
now identify wanted individuals and search crime scene finger and
palm prints faster than ever before. Thomas County can now obtain
potential latent to ten-print or palm print matches locally within
minutes, getting suspected criminals off the streets quickly and
preserving the continued safety of its citizens. AwareABIS also
expands the search capabilities of neighboring agencies who can
leverage Thomas County’s matching system to expedite searches;
helping to solve crimes and apprehend suspects more quickly.
“We are thrilled to have AwareABIS at our
disposal,” said John Sellers, Thomas County’s lieutenant of
forensics. “Getting a fingerprint match is time sensitive and now
we’re able to get results within minutes. Having these fingerprint
tools is extremely beneficial in keeping our citizens safe.”
AwareABIS was designed with the needs of the civil
and law enforcement community in mind.
“There has long been a need for a new ABIS product
in the market and we are happy to provide one to Thomas County,“
said Robert Mungovan, chief commercial officer at Aware. “With
AwareABIS, Thomas County now has a biometric identification system
that enables them to best manage and optimize their booking and
forensic processes. They are not locked into expensive, long-term
contracts and, of course, they benefit from the better control of
their data and their workflows that AwareABIS provides.”
Owing to its flexible modular architecture,
AwareABIS provides rich biometric search functionality for either
criminal or civil applications. Configured for criminal
applications, AwareABIS provides capabilities critical to law
enforcement, such as comprehensive fingerprint or facial analysis
and processing. This includes support for latent-palm print,
latent-ten print, latent-unsolved latent searches and optional
facial recognition. Advanced forensic face and fingerprint
workstation applications provide the forensic specialist with rich
analytics and report generation capability. Configured for civil
applications, AwareABIS provides powerful biometric search
capability through APIs that are well-designed and easy to use. The
rich front-end capabilities provided through Aware’s client
applications support a wide range of biometrics-enabled tasks for
civil applications, from visa applications to border control.
Organizations can also use custom applications to meet specific
functional and project-specific requirements.
