Morpho announced the first deployment of its biometric identification system, in Canada to both the Calgary Police Service and the Edmonton Police Service. This automated fingerprint identification system (AFIS) is a solution for investigation, identification and verification in law enforcement applications.
The Calgary and Edmonton Police Services realized that a new biometric solution was required to meet the demand for rapid paperless responses, real-time identification, and biometric data exchanges. After thorough evaluation, including accuracy testing and cost of ownership comparisons, Morpho's solution was selected.
Achieved shortly after the merger of Morpho and Printrak', Morpho solution is at the edge of AFIS technology incorporating the best of their two technologies. Morpho system enables real-time identification of suspects and criminals. With its fused algorithms, workflows and features, this crime-solving tool fully integrates fingerprints and palm prints. Its workspace, architecture and large database meet the specific needs of criminal justice agencies. The results are unrivalled accuracy and enhanced productivity as more crimes are solved.
"During the rigorous benchmark, we were impressed with the solution and are very happy to be partnering with them," said Superintendent Ken Marchant, Calgary Police Service. "Morpho has equipped us with the advanced biometrics technology available."
