Sorry this shold have been posted last night. Forgot to. Anyway here it is, straight from the Chicago Sun-Times 1/7 Metro Section. - - - - - - - - - - - - - Cops to get high-tech help by Mark Brown Cook County Reporter Two major contracts melding law enforcement with the latest in technology were approved Tuesday by the Cook County Board. At the recommendatipon of Sherriff Michael Sheahan, county commissioners chose NEC Technologies of Rolling Meadows, to provide a new computer-aided fingerprinting and mug shot system for the county's suburban police departments. They also selected SecurityLink of Oak Brook to install a new system for home monitoring of criminal defendants. NEC Technologies bid $8.9 million to put in the new electronic fingerprinting system, which is expected to greatly reduce the time it takes to identify suspects with criminal records. The project, which is expected to cost $13 million to $14 million total, is being financed partly with a $10 million federal grant. The countywide computer system is expected to be operating by year-end. It will replace the traditional ink roll method of fingerprinting and allow suburban police to identify criminal suspects in seconds. The current process can take hours or days, occasionally allowing suspects who use aliases to win release on bond before their identities are determined, sheriff's spokesman William Cunningham said. Chicago already has a computerized fingerprinting system. <snip> Rest of article was about SecurityLink Hope that helps. -Buzz
