Verifying identities and conducting criminal background checks in the field has traditionally been one of the most time-consuming tasks for law enforcement officers.

Real-time mobile biometrics

In the past, this often required detaining individuals and transporting them to a station for fingerprint identification.

Forward-thinking agencies like the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) are tapping into highly accurate, real-time mobile biometric technology — Rapid ID — transforming how officers run ID checks while on patrol.

One Officer. Two Fingerprints. Three Easy Steps.
