Identity management - keeping communities safe

NEC is a global leader in identity management with expertise in voice and face-recognition, finger-prints, iris, vein and DNA identification. Applications range from drivers’ licenses and passport systems to law enforcement and criminal justice system applications.

A recent Australian implementation of NEC’s LiveScan digital fingerprint and palm print technology to a State police department is one example. LiveScan is a complete capture-to-booking technology that provides the highest levels of speed and accuracy required by law enforcement and security agencies. Police are able to check suspects’ criminal records via fingerprint matching and for registration for civilian applications for various licences requiring fingerprint checks.

NEC has a strong and experienced team of biometrics sales and technical staff with in-depth knowledge of the needs of the global public safety market.”
