Romania unveils Israeli-made biometric device
Romanian internal security ministry buys a biometric system from Motorola Israel; system integrates many pieces of information, and was already proved successful in use by the Miami-Dade police
Romanian police will now enjoy a leg up from an Israeli-designed technology that will help them identify criminals. Last week, the Romanian minister of internal security and the Romanian police chief presided over the dedication ceremony of a new Israeli-produced biometric identification system. The system was developed by Motorola Israeland is supposed to be able to identify and break down fingerprints and palm prints. Part of the appeal of the new system is its ability quickly to search and find similarities with information in existing criminal files and databases.
The Jerusalem Post’s Rebecca Anna Stoil writes that The ADIS biometric system, which is known as the Printak Biometric Identification Solution, allows for the integration of a large variety of criminal information. Beyond print identification, it also can scan for facial identification and document and file locations, allowing police to more effectively organize existing investigative information.
In 2006 Motorola operated a similar system within the Miami Dade Police Department, and the police there reported that they solved seven cold homicide cases using the new biometric fingerprint system, which can also accommodate partial prints.
