For Immediate Release
MARTINEZ, CA, December 21, 2005 – SecuriMetrics,
Inc., a world
leader in iris and multi-modal biometric technologies, has
announced the release of OFFENDER-ID™, the next-generation
of inmate identification hardware and software.
OFFENDER-ID™ is an advanced inmate ID management system
incorporating state-of-the-art biometric technology. Correctional
facilities can now upgrade critical processes such as booking
and release using iris identification. In addition,
agencies will have the ability to build an iris biometric
database of new and repeat offenders entering and exiting
their facilities.
The benefits to the new OFFENDER-ID™ solution
include:
- Reduction of erroneous releases
thereby increasing public safety
- Quick identification of repeat
offenders regardless of aliases or non cooperation
- Identification of enrolled offenders
anywhere, inside or outside the jail
- Elimination of double bookings and
multiple ID #’s
for the same offender
- Creation of an audit trail
of inmate movements
- Efficient management of the
work release or work crew population
- Active population counts of all
offenders under control
- Warnings for overdue “work release” offenders
Concurrent to the launch of OFFENDER-ID™, SecuriMetrics
also announced contracts with two county jails for its OFFENDER-ID™ solution. Creek
County Jail in Oklahoma and Monterey County Jail in California
have executed contracts for SecuriMetrics’ inmate identification
technology and professional services. Both
counties will be installing the OFFENDER-ID™ solution
for booking and releasing inmates at their facilities.
“After exploring various technologies, we selected
iris id and SecuriMetrics’ solutions as the fastest
and most accurate means of insuring the identity of offenders. Our
primary goal is to provide a greater level of public safety
to the Monterey County community and to increase efficiency
within the facility,” said Captain Ray McLaughlin.
Under the terms of these contracts, SecuriMetrics
will enable both counties to enroll and identify inmates
using advanced iris identification technology and begin to build
a biometric database of current and former offenders. SecuriMetrics
will be providing all the necessary hardware, software
and training for both counties.
“These two additional contracts support our position
as the preferred provider of inmate identity management solutions
for correctional facilities” said Greg Peterson, CEO,
SecuriMetrics, Inc. “We’re pleased to have been
selected by these two well known and respected county facilities
and we are certain our solutions will effectively meet their
need to quickly and accurately ID offenders using advanced
iris identification technology.”
