VANCOUVER, BC (TSX-V: VIS) (XETRA: IGYA) ("Visiphor") announces
that, through a wholly owned subsidiary, it has contributed a suite
of software applications valued at $775,000 to the British Columbia
Institute of Technology (BCIT) for use in its Crime and
Intelligence Analysis Program.
In the fall of 2007, BCIT launched a new option, Crime and
Intelligence Analysis (CIA), for those pursuing a Bachelor of
Technology degree in Forensic Investigation. The program is the
first of its kind in Canada and seeks to meet increasing demand for
crime and intelligence analysts in the fields of law enforcement,
business and security.
"Visiphor is very pleased to be a CIA program partner with
BCIT," commented Visiphor CEO, Roy Trivett. "BCIT's decision to
implement Visiphor's advanced integration and facial recognition
technology into the school's curriculum further validates the
applicability of Visiphor's solutions to the law enforcement
community both today and into the future. Providing licenses of our
flagship products supports the expanded use of Visiphor's
information sharing and biometric solutions within the law
enforcement, justice and security sectors."
"Visiphor software will be used at BCIT to train a new
generation of crime and intelligence practitioners, and will serve
to raise the bar of analytic performance across Canada," says Alex
Tyakoff, Program Coordinator for the Crime and Intelligence
Analysis program and a former law enforcement officer. "We're
thrilled to have a Vancouver-based company support cutting-edge
training at BCIT."
Visiphor's integration software and its proprietary facial
recognition technology are already being used in the current term
classes to showcase the latest technology available in the
field.
