IDEMIA Public Security North America has announced the launch of their newest product, STORM LP-X, an all-in-one latent print software to encode latent prints, submit searches, and compare prints, allowing examiners to quickly and easily search latent prints against their state system and the Next Generation Identification (NGI) system, a database of biometric and criminal history information for individuals developed by the FBI's Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) Division.
IDEMIA's STORM LP-X is a next-generation, cloud-native, software-as-a-service (SaaS) system that provides a complete and easy-to-use method to submit latent print searches to a state's Automated Biometric Identification System (ABIS), a software system that stores and matches biometric data to identify individuals, in addition to the FBI's NGI system. Using the same user interface as IDEMIA's STORM ABIS, IDEMIA's STORM LP-X has an intuitive, user-centric design that incorporates the principles of the ACE-V (Analysis, Comparison, Evaluation, Verification) method used by forensic examiners to analyze and compare fingerprints and the GYRO (Green, Yellow, Red, and Orange System) documentation system, which is focused on transparent fingerprint documentation.
"STORM LP-X provides latent print examiners with an efficient, accessible, and innovative solution to search and match latent prints to help identify suspects," shared Doug Harvey, CTO, IDEMIA Public Security North America. "This newest product truly exemplifies our mission of unlocking the world and making it safer by providing examiners with innovative, up-to-date, and efficient technology for forensic and criminal investigations when every second counts."
STORM LP-X is a perfect fit for law enforcement agencies that are looking for an alternative to using the latent print workstation from their state's ABIS vendor or using Universal Latent Workstation (ULW) software. Since STORM LP-X is a web-based solution, latent print examiners no longer need to transfer images to a different PC or share a dedicated workstation with other members of the unit. The solution also offers innovative and accessible features, such as:
-
Intuitive user interface designed by examiners for examiners
-
Drag-and-drop image upload
-
Accurate auto-encode
-
Latent print quality map
-
Analysis documentation including GYRO
-
Side-by-side comparison of search candidates or manual comparisons
-
Submit searches to your state ABIS and NGI
-
Submit and receive EBTS-compliant transactions
-
Work from anywhere—office or crime scene
