Case Study: a police force in a major European capital city achieves faster suspect identification and major cost savings with HID Global mobile biometrics

Police Force in Major European Capital City Drives Efficiency with HID Global Mobile Biometrics

A police force in a major European capital city faced significant operational inefficiencies, including high costs and reduced community visibility, when identifying suspects without proper documentation. To increase efficiency and adapt to evolving threats, they sought a flexible, mobile biometric identity verification solution and partnered with HID Global.

HID Global implemented its HID NOMAD 30 Pocket Readers, along with a software development kit, allowing officers to perform rapid fingerprint checks in the field against multiple databases. This HID Global solution resulted in a six-fold increase in identifications and net savings exceeding €500,000. The force also significantly reduced processing times, improved officer presence on the street, and strengthened community relations.
