* Earlier this week Identix announced that it had received another order from
the Bureau of Criminal Identification and Information (BCII) of the California
Attorney General's Office for 28 TouchPrint-600 (TP-600) live scan systems
(woth about $1.1 million).
* These machines will be used in new both new locations and to upgrade older
TouchPrint-900 units in existing sites and are identical machines to the ones
that are currently undergoing pilot testing with the Immigration and
Naturalization Service (see our October 1 note).
* This is an automated fingerprint identification system order and the systems
will allow fingerprints taken at police and sheriff departments to be cross-checked
against a statewide database within two hours and will also transmit
the information to the FBI.
* As we indicated in our October 13 note, we continue to believe that the
company's dependence on AFIS contract is lessening, however we welcome these
contracts as continuing affirmations of Identix' proven integration capability
that will be vital to commercial customers.
* Finally, we have read excerpts from the Senate's discussions regarding
fingerprinting with regards to the appropriations act for the Depts. of
Commerce, Justice and State, the Judiciary, and Related Agencies and we
believe that there is clear support for the use of fingerprinting for the INS
- an indication that 1) the pilot program will get full support ($22.3
million) if it is successful, and 2) that other agencies could also get
support for fingerprinting programs.
