Law Enforcement Biometric Solution
Biometrics has been used in law enforcement efforts for over a century and fingerprints are quite synonymous with criminal investigations. The FBI has always spearheaded the adoption of biometric technology in law enforcement and was responsible for national fingerprints collection in 1924. Fingerprint identification showed its presence in the early twentieth century and police started using fingerprints to identify suspects from latent fingerprints or link them to their criminal records. The application of biometric technology is growing rapidly in the field of law enforcement. According to Frost and Sullivan, the law enforcement biometrics market was valued at $838 million and it continues to rise. The consulting firm predicts that this market is going to reach $1.1 billion in 2021. This rapid rise is fuelled by the technological improvements in biometrics as well as the growing concerns about terrorism.
