Thales is now offering its Evidence and Investigation Suite, a biometric identification solution for law enforcement and security applications.

The Evidence and Investigation Suite comprises compact devices that can capture biometric data such as facial and iris images and finger- and palmprints wherever they are needed; as well as secure data storage capacity and processing tools that support forensic teams during investigations.

Thales says its cutting-edge solution includes a complete set of features supported by cloud-based solutions and compact multimodal biometric devices, for faster crime-solving and efficient investigation of persons-of-interest.

"For decades, Thales' expertise has allowed investigation professionals to record, analyze and compare biometric characteristics with the highest level of performance. Today, Thales puts forensic investigations to the next level with one of the top NIST-ranked solutions, uncompromised on accuracy, customizability, and scalability. With its new Evidence and Investigation Suite, Thales put the emphasis on remote accessibility and utmost mobility, offering forces full flexibility and improved results," the company says.

“In the fight against crime, time is the enemy”, says Luc Tombal, public security solutions director at Thales “that’s why Thales Evidence and Investigation Suite was created by experts with extensive field knowledge for experts.”

“Thanks to the ultra-mobile multifunction application, each investigator can benefit from having a biometric forensic lab at the palm of their hand that strives to simplify and accelerate the procedure. Time optimization is crucial in investigations, and this unique approach allows access to vital information within minutes, expediting criminal case resolutions compared to the traditional days-long process,” added Luc Tombal.
