Certification Allows Access to FALCON Rapid Identification System Using PrintSearch Mobile Mug Remote Software.
Denver – At the 116th International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) conference in Denver, Motorola Inc., (NYSE: MOT) and idSoftware, Inc. today announced the successful co-validation of PrintSearch Mug Remote enterprise mobility biometric software for Motorola’s MC75 Enterprise Digital Assistant (EDA). idSoftware completed Motorola’s Enterprise Mobility Validated Solution Program that includes joint testing at the Motorola Solution Center. idSoftware and Motorola will be demonstrating how this joint solution puts relevant information into the hands of officers at Booth #2542 during the IACP conference.
idSoftware’s enterprise mobility software includes mobile biometric identification for work release programs, employee authorized access, e-ticket writing and GPS location. PrintSearch Mobile is an “in-the-field” identification and book and release system using Motorola’s wireless, forensic-quality fingerprint scanner and proven state-of-the-art identification and booking software. The complete system is integrated on the MC75 EDA using a certified fingerprint scanner, 2 megapixel auto-focus digital color camera, 2D barcode reader, and the support of wireless communications.
idSoftware is the first company certified by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) to use Motorola’s MC75 EDA for fingerprint submission to the Florida’s FALCON rapid identification system. Additionally, idSoftware is the first company certified by FDLE to submit identification requests to the FDLE “Watch List,” enabling a law enforcement officer to flag a record and notify the officer if there is identification search any place in the state.
“It is a significant accomplishment for idSoftware to be the first software of its kind to receive co-validation on the MC75 EDA and to receive certification by the state of Florida for rapid identification,” said Scott French, MSSI vice president and senior sales director, Motorola Enterprise Mobility Solutions. “There is an immediate impact to officer safety through identification of dangerous suspects and a secondary benefit of cost savings with the mobile book and release applications.”
Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office (Sarasota, Florida) deployed the county’s first units on September 10, 2009. The first night of use, deputies were able to positively identify a man as a previously deported convicted felon who had re-entered the United States. Another suspect wouldn’t provide his correct name, but because of the system, they learned he had a warrant out from an adjacent county.
“Positive identification is a critical requirement for the safety of our deputies,” said Sarasota County Sheriff Tom Knight. “The sooner law enforcement knows who they are dealing with and what his/her criminal history might be, the more quickly they can make better, informed decisions. This community wants a progressive agency with the appropriate tools and latest technology available,” added Sheriff Knight, “and the men and women of this office deserve nothing less.”
By streamlining the identification process, this technology also makes each call more efficient and can minimize the amount of time a deputy spends at the jail during an arrest.
Motorola’s MC75 Enterprise Digital Assistant enhances productivity through the seamless extension of data applications to a rugged handheld mobile computer with multi-mode communications including cellular broadband, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth®. The MC75 EDA places the combined power of a mobile phone, laptop, camera and bar code scanner at the fingertips of mobile personnel.
PrintSearch Mobile provides in-the-field mobile positive identification, pre-booking, and book and release, with notice to appear documents. For book and release offenses, PrintSearch Mobile saves time by eliminating costly transport to a booking facility and additional time at the jail for the booking process.
“idSoftware’s technology is an invaluable tool in today’s law enforcement environment,” said Jim Strey, president of idSoftware, Inc. “In addition to enhancing the ability of agencies to share data with other agencies, we are also increasing officer safety, making agencies more efficient, and keeping officers on the street where they can be most effective. During these difficult economic times, the combination of Motorola’s MC75 and idSoftware’s mobile solution can help fight crime in unprecedented ways.”
Motorola’s Enterprise Mobility Validated Solutions Program enables partners to test and validate their mobility solutions on Motorola products to help ensure interoperability and meet the customer application-specific needs, as well as reduce both the risk level and the time to deployment for the customer. Working closely with engineering teams, PrintSearch Mobile has been tested and co-validated on the MC75.
The terms of the validation, including disclaimers, are set forth in the Test Agreement between Motorola and idSoftware and the Enterprise Mobility Validated Test Report.
