How Florida Law Enforcement Can ‘Tap’ Into Rapid ID for Greater Efficiency
Verifying identities and conducting criminal background checks in the field has traditionally been one of the most time-consuming tasks for law enforcement officers. In the past, this often required detaining individuals and transporting them to a station for fingerprint identification.
Today, forward-thinking agencies like the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) are tapping into highly accurate, real-time mobile biometric technology — Rapid ID — transforming how officers run ID checks while on patrol.
One Officer. Two Fingerprints. Three Easy Steps.
The HID Rapid ID solution is FDLE FALCON Rapid ID Certified, empowering Florida law enforcement officers to conduct mobile biometric identification from any place, at any time. Built with proven fingerprint biometric technology, Rapid ID enables officers to quickly identify subjects with arrest warrants or those with records in Florida’s FALCON Integrated Crime History System and the FBI RISC database.
Three easy steps for officers:
- Capture — Capture two fingerprints using the HID NOMAD™ 30 Pocket Reader
- Submit — Tap HID Commander on the mobile device to submit
- Review — Review Hit/No-Hit results within minutes
Behind the scenes, HID Rapid ID does the heavy lifting by managing and transmitting Electronic Fingerprint Transmission (EFT) records to local, state and federal agencies for subject identification in the field.
Watch the video below to see how HID Rapid ID works for FDLE.
