TECH5, an innovator in the field of biometrics and digital identity management, announced a major contract win with the Virginia State Police to modernize the State’s Livescan technology – the technology for capturing fingerprints in a digital format – with advanced features and capabilities. TECH5’s contract spans 15 years with a current estimated value of 54 million US dollars and will be implemented in phases, deploying a comprehensive suite of SaaS-based services in combination with approximately 800 Livescan systems across the Commonwealth.
The new technology will support Virginia’s efforts to improve the processing of criminals when capturing fingerprints. The system will enhance the state’s capabilities with features such as tattoo and face capture technology, ultimately improving public safety for residents and visitors of the Commonwealth of Virginia.
TECH5 will supply its latest Law Enforcement software solution which will integrate with a wide variety of third-party biometric capture systems and the MBIS (Multi-Biometric Identification System) platform. TECH5 will provide both civilian and criminal kiosks for the program, along with its vendor-agnostic, cloud-hosted software-as-a-service open architecture solution.
“We are excited to start the new LiveScan replacement and modernization project with our commercial partner TECH5 USA. Our fundamental objective is to better serve and protect the citizens of the Commonwealth of Virginia through the Livescan Project which aims to enhance the accuracy of incoming data, ensure timely submissions, and improve process monitoring, ultimately leading to more reliable results and improved Public Safety for our citizens.” – says Lt. Dominic Sottile, Criminal Justice Information Services Division, Virginia State Police.
“As global experts in multimodal biometric solutions with significant subject matter expertise in Livescan systems, we are looking forward to assisting the Virginia State Police and the Commonwealth of Virginia in improving their public safety position with our Law Enforcement Suite.” – comments Rahul Parthe, Co-founder, Chairman, and CTO of TECH5.
“We are incredibly excited to be partnering with the Virginia State Police,” said Gary Monetti, Sr. Director Government Sales for TECH5 USA. “Implementing our technology will reduce the waiting time at the kiosks and improve the State’s ability to process civilian workers while reducing the lines of sex offenders and other criminals waiting to be process into the system. This will ultimately improve the public safety for its citizens.”
