FaceEXPLORER


Face recognition to identify known criminals.


Face recognition technology is a key tool for identifying known criminals. The FaceEXPLORER solution saves time in the booking process by helping quickly find an individual’s identity. Using this fast and easy process, customers can build a valuable library of images and store image data in the records of individuals booked and held in facilities. This system provides a valuable resource for identifying suspects and criminals during the booking, release and investigative processes.

FaceEXPLORER helps:

  • Eliminate false or alias identity information by identifying criminals by face
  • Increase the success rate of identifying suspects and criminals with face recognition throughout the pre-booking, booking, and release processes
  • Smooth the investigation process with easy access to identity information, particularly when starting with only a photo or sketch of suspects
  • Find an individual’s criminal history faster and easier with a more complete criminal record that links multiple records together using facial recognition
  • Collect other significant identity data, such as scars, marks and tattoos and store the data in electronically searchable records
