You think biometrics are involved here? Seems logical. WASHINGTON, Jan 4, 2000 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) announced today an agreement with ChoicePoint(TM) Inc. (NYSE:CPS), selecting the company as a nationwide provider of online public records information. The FBI selected ChoicePoint after an exhaustive six-month review of the nation's four top information providers. The relationship covers agents and analysts in the field and at resident offices throughout the country. The agreement comes on the heels of ChoicePoint's deal with the Department of Justice signed earlier in 1999. Through these and other engagements, ChoicePoint serves the public records information needs of all levels of federal, state and local law enforcement and government agencies. ChoicePoint will provide the FBI with public records information to assist in locating assets such as real and personal property, identifying civil and criminal court records, and locating individuals. "We constantly work with our law enforcement customers to build into our products the information they need," commented Steve Rubley, director of federal law enforcement for ChoicePoint. "That's why our products speak to the unique and specific needs of our customers. It's quite rewarding when an agency like the FBI places its confidence in your system and the team behind it. In this line of work results aren't measured in profits or balance sheets, but in terms of the safety and security of all Americans." ChoicePoint is the leading provider of decision-making intelligence to businesses, individuals and government agencies. Through the identification, retrieval, storage, analysis and delivery of data, the company serves the information needs of the property and casualty insurance market, the life and health market, and the business and government markets, including Fortune 1000 corporations, asset-based lenders and professional service providers, and federal, state, and local governments.
