BACS — developed by Patti Engineering — secures, tracks (via RFID) and provides full accountability for critical assets. The NIH officer's equipment and/or weapons now will be marked with an RFID chip linked to the kiosk. The user logs into the BACS application to access equipment by placing their finger on the biometric reader for verification. Then the user selects the authorized equipment and/or weapon listed on the touch screen which is then retrieved from a secure locker.

Law enforcement departments throughout the country are utilizing the system to allow for full accountability of their armory and a credible history report that links officers to their assigned equipment.
