During day-to-day operations, police agents and first responders are presented with potentially dangerous situations in which they encounter individuals with suspicious behavior.
In many cases, they are forced to decide in a few seconds whether to take a person’s word for who they are or take the individual into custody to ascertain their true identity and criminal background. They need to have access to critical identification information wherever duty takes them.
Cogent Mobile Biometric Identification (MBI) application performs fast & accurate biometric matching from mobile device to assist officers and first responders in obtaining near real-time identifications in the field. In the blink of an eye, they can safely receive the feedback on their mobile device, confirming if a person has a past criminal record or an active warrant. They can also access a wealth of information regarding the identity, level of dangerousness, types of crimes committed, and court history of the suspect.
In addition to electronic travel documents and national eID cards, Thales offers border agencies, government authorities and airports a complete portfolio of solutions that help secure, automate and facilitate border and passenger management for air, land or sea operations.
