IDEMIA STORM ABIS® enables
efficiency for Volusia Sheriff's
Office latent print unit through easy state-of-the-art fingerprint
searches, analysis, comparison, and documentation.
RESTON,
Va., May 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- IDEMIA Public
Security North America, the biometrics solutions leader for law
enforcement agencies, announced today that it has implemented its
cloud-native, fully functional Automated Biometric Identification
System, STORM ABIS, in Volusia County, Florida to support its latent
print unit. The Volusia Sheriff's
Office is the first law enforcement agency in the nation
implementing a cloud-native ABIS that can search county, state, and
federal databases from a single application. Volusia County, which is located in the
east-central part of Florida, is
home to over 579,000 citizens.
With over 40 years of experience working alongside the world's
leading law enforcement agencies, IDEMIA understands the technology
that latent print units need. Designed by latent print experts for
latent print examiners, STORM ABIS
users work efficiently to upload, encode, search, and compare
latent prints. As the industry's first cloud-native ABIS, each
Latent Print Examiner can log into STORM
ABIS from wherever they are, securely and conveniently
through a web browser to access state-of-the-art biometric matching
algorithms. It supports local and national searches with tools for
analysis, comparison, and case management, so users don't have to
log onto different systems.
Independent testing from the National Institute of Standards and
Technology (NIST) showed that IDEMIA has the most accurate latent
print search algorithms, and the Volusia Sheriff's Office has seen incredible
benefits with this technology. The Latent Print Unit typically
handles latent print casework for 15-16 different agencies, and
STORM ABIS has helped increase
efficiency and allowed examiners to complete more cases.
"The ease of use stands out for us," shared Lindsay
Jones, CLPE, Supervisor of the Latent Print Unit. "We prepare
the images for a case, upload it to STORM
ABIS, and then run searches for the case. With its
capabilities, we've gone from handling 5 cases a week (per
examiner) to 8-15 cases per week! We can now also send searches at
the local, state, or federal level at the same time within one
application."
"We're honored to partner with the Volusia Sheriff's Office
and help streamline their processes and further their goals to keep
their communities safe," said Casey
Mayfield, SVP, Justice & Public Safety, IDEMIA Public
Security North America. "It's exciting to see the benefits they are
already seeing, and to see how they will use the technology to
expand their capabilities not only at the local level, but for
state and federal cases."
"The IDEMIA team has been with us every step of the way, and
we've loved working with them," added Lindsay Jones. "The team is knowledgeable and
transparent about what we can do with their technology, we're
looking forward to continuing to collaborate with them in the
future."
