TECH5 has announced a major contract win with the Virginia State Police as a main player in the field of biometrics and digital identity management. The State’s Livescan technology, used for law enforcement, to capture digital fingerprint data will be upgraded to boost its productivity with advanced features and capabilities.
TECH5’s contract – spanning 15 years with a current estimated value of 54 million US dollar – will be to deploy a comprehensive suite of SaaS-based services in combination with approximately 800 Livescan systems across the Commonwealth.
The new technology will support Virginia’s efforts to improve the identification and processing of criminals when capturing fingerprints. The system will be more advanced with features such as tattoo and face capture technology, ultimately meeting certain technological standards to ensure the public safety for residents and visitors of the Commonwealth of Virginia.
TECH5 will supply its latest Law Enforcement software solution which will integrate with a wide variety of third-party biometric capture systems and the MBIS (Multi-Biometric Identification System) platform.
TECH5 will also provide both civilian and criminal kiosks for the programme, along with its vendor-agnostic, cloud-hosted software-as-a-service open architecture solution.
Virginia State Police said “we are excited to start the new LiveScan replacement and modernisation project with our commercial partner TECH5 USA” which aims to “enhance the accuracy of incoming data, ensure timely submissions, and improve process monitoring, ultimately leading to more reliable results and improved Public Safety for our citizens.”
Rahul Parthe, Co-founder, Chairman, and CTO of TECH5 commented: “As global experts in multimodal biometric solutions with significant subject matter expertise in Livescan systems, we are looking forward to assisting the Virginia State Police and the Commonwealth of Virginia in improving their public safety position with our Law Enforcement Suite.”
“We are incredibly excited to be partnering with the Virginia State Police,” said Gary Monetti, Sr. Director Government Sales for TECH5 USA. “Implementing our technology will reduce the waiting time at the kiosks and improve the State’s ability to process civilian workers while reducing the lines of sex offenders and other criminals waiting to be process into the system. This will ultimately improve the public safety for its citizens.”
With over twenty-five years of experience and deep knowledge in biometrics-enabled identity management, TECH5 has developed and implemented solutions for law enforcement, national identity systems, financial institutions, and federal governments.
