NEC Wins State of Indiana..21 Series!....Replaces Printrak. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ NEC Technologies Wins $3 Million Contract to Provide Automatic Fingerprint Identification System for the State of Indiana ÿÿÿÿBusiness/Technology Editors ÿÿÿÿWASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 5, 1997-- ÿÿÿÿThe Indiana State Police and The Indiana Department of Corrections ÿÿÿÿImplement NEC Biometric System to Identify, Apprehend Criminals ÿÿÿÿNEC Technologies, a pioneer and world leader in the development, marketing and implementation of Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS) technology for law enforcement, today announced a $3 million contract with the Indiana State Police and Indiana Department of Corrections (DOC). The NEC AFIS21 system replaces the state's current Printrak International AFIS system in order to provide the most advanced fingerprint technology to identify and apprehend criminals. ÿÿÿÿ"NEC is very pleased to be working with the state of Indiana in implementing the latest AFIS technology into their criminal justice system," said Bill Wells, vice president of NEC Technologies' AFIS Division. "With the NEC AFIS21 system, the state of Indiana will have the most accurate and cost-effective AFIS available today to ensure the highest level of criminal identification." ÿÿÿÿIndiana's NEC AFIS21 system will streamline record keeping, increase efficiency and improve crime fighting by ensuring accurate offender processing to the proper DOC inmate records, identifying subjects referenced in criminal records and comparing crime scene fingerprints of unknown origin with identified fingerprints in file. The system features Automatic Classification and Pre-Selection (AC/PS), the first fully automated workflow process that executes fingerprint matching and registration without human intervention. AC/PS automatically narrows searches based on distinct demographic and fingerprint characteristics, saving valuable time while increasing identification accuracy. ÿÿÿÿThe NEC AFIS21 system will include a central database at the Indiana State Police Records Division serving as the central repository for arrest, disposition and custody/supervision data. More than 2 million tenprint and latent fingerprint images will be classified and stored electronically with their associated demographic data, such as crime code and criminal record. The database will be accessed throughout the state from remote sites that include four latent sites, nine live scan locations and three Department of Corrections mug shot/live scan locations. NEC Technologies' AFIS and AISG Divisions ÿÿÿÿNEC is recognized as the industry leader in Automated Fingerprint Identification Systems, latent identifications and large (greater than one million records) networked AFISs. Based in Washington, D.C., NEC Technologies' AFIS Division markets AFIS products for law enforcement and jail management. The AISG Division markets commercial finger imaging products for vertical markets, including healthcare, social welfare services, access control, immigration and motor. The company installed its first law enforcement AFIS in North America at the San Francisco Police Department in 1983, and its first healthcare HealthID system in LaPorte Hospital, Indiana, in 1995. The more than 50 NEC AFIS systems installed worldwide contain fingerprints on more than 50 million subjects. These systems have solved more crimes using latent prints than all other AFIS systems in the world combined.
