Law Enforcement Solutions
Every year, thousands of inmates are mistakenly released from jail.  This is not unusual considering that 60% of most career criminals have multiple alias' and several valid drivers licenses from different states confirming these false identities.  For most officers, it's very difficult to really know who they are arresting.

In order to combat this problem, ALIVE's Law Enforcement Solutions focus on Identity Management and Verification when being booked and upon release.  .  Even if the person has provided a false identity, if they have been arrested in the county before and are in the Multi-Dimensional database, they will be identified.  The system will even display all previous bookings with the information provided at the time of the arrest.

At the Adult Detention Facility in Cobb County, GA, ALIVE's Multi-Dimensional Facial Recognition System creates a Biometric Template of every inmate booked into their facility. Upon release, the system uses that template to verify that the correct inmate is being released. The system at Cobb County currently has over 95,000 inmates enrolled in their system and have not had an erroneous release since the system was installed in April 2004 with over 350,000 data transactions.

Although Prisoner Processing is at the core of the ALIVE's Law Enforcement Solutions, Multi-Dimensional Facial Recognition Technology has numerous other applications in Law Enforcement including:

  • Access Control Solutions for both staff and trustees moving within and outside of the jail
  • Replaces standard mug shot systems with a more robust, higher resolution Multi-Dimensional facial image that continues to meet FBI standards
  • Visitation Programs to monitor and identify visitors to the detention facility as well as keeping a visual event log with time, date, and a real-time visual image of the visitor
  • Searchable 3D facial image databases which can be shared with other counties in the area (or even at the State or Federal Level)
  • Courthouse Access Control
ALIVE is able to integrate with most jail management systems, as well as perform the integration of multi-modal systems.  We are eager to listen to your problems and work with you to solve them.

This system is, I think, the Holy Grail for Law Enforcement.

ALIVE is initiating a project which will have a profound impact on the manner in which law enforcement agencies share information. Over the past 18 months, meetings and discussions with a number of agencies in the Metro Atlanta area have uncovered and clarified certain issues regarding the manner in which law enforcement agencies collect, analyze and disseminate criminal information. Several counties have recently implemented ALIVE's Multi-Dimensional solution and several others will be purchasing them in the near future. The consensus of those agencies interviewed to date confirms a need for the ability to share and search mug shots and fingerprints in the course of criminal investigative work. This project will establish the foundation for a networked computer installation to facilitate the consolidation of mug shot and fingerprint databases.
