EQUIPPING THE OFFICER detectives to probation and parole officers, and units specializing in serving warrants or handling sex offenders, all from virtually anywhere. For example, if there is a question about an individual's identity (such as a subject carrying no identification, or one with conflicting identification) and the individual is stopped, the iris ID will make for positive identification within seconds (along with a time, date, and GPS stamp). Says Mullin, "This can be critically important in situations where the individual is using a different identity to avoid detection for other crimes or risk factors." Matches takes place through Webbased iris, fingerprint and facial biometric databases and networks built and maintained by BI-2 Technologies. State and local agencies enroll suspects at booking. This ground-breaking technology is available now and already in use in some states. Outerlink Uniquity What is it? Satellite-based software that improves and expands an agency's communications capabilities. Company: Outerlink Global Solutions What it does: Company executives, CEO Steve Durante and CTO Rod Danielson, say that since law enforcement officers often require the ability to communicate through a highly secure, centralized database, their product, Outerlink Uniquity, will provide a low-cost option that allows for mobile communications, regardless of network availability. The software will operate on next-generation, high-bandwidth satellites, and can run on smartphones and tablets, allowing law enforcement officers to communicate through one centralized database. Additionally, it will allow both voice and text communications, as well as the ability to view real-time situational awareness information across multiple domains. This software should be available in three- to six-months, its release timed to coincide with the availability of the next-generation satellites with which it will operate. ■ A 12-year veteran of police work, Carole Moore has served in patrol, forensics, crime prevention and criminal investigations, and has extensive training in many law enforcement disciplines.
