A pioneer in the field of biometrics and digital identity management, Tech5 has a major contract win with the Virginia State Police to modernize the State’s Livescan technology. Spanning 15 years, the contract has a current estimated value of 54 million US dollars and will be implemented in phases, deploying a comprehensive suite of SaaS-based services in combination with approximately 800 Livescan systems across the Commonwealth.
With over twenty-five years of experience and deep knowledge in biometrics-enabled identity management, TECH5 develops disruptive biometric and digital ID technology solutions through the application of AI and machine learning. Targeting governments and private sectors, the company has implemented its solutions for law enforcement, national identity systems, financial institutions, and federal governments, underlining its commitment to providing cutting-edge biometric solutions that enhance security.
The company has reached a landmark milestone, with the signing of a 15-year contract with the Commonwealth of Virginia to help modernize the Virginia State Police’s Livescan technology– the technology for capturing fingerprints in a digital format – with advanced features and capabilities. The new technology will support Virginia’s efforts to improve the processing of criminals when capturing fingerprints. The system will enhance the state’s capabilities with features such as tattoo and face capture technology, ultimately improving public safety for residents and visitors of the Commonwealth of Virginia.
TECH5 will supply its latest Law Enforcement software solution, which will integrate with a wide variety of third-party biometric capture systems and the MBIS (Multi-Biometric Identification System) platform. TECH5 will provide both civilian and criminal kiosks for the program, along with its vendor-agnostic, cloud-hosted software-as-a-service open architecture solution.
This contract currently has an estimated value of 54 million US dollars and will be implemented in phases, deploying a comprehensive suite of SaaS-based services in combination with approximately 800 Livescan systems across the Commonwealth.
“We are excited to start the new LiveScan replacement and modernization project with our commercial partner TECH5 USA. Our fundamental objective is to better serve and protect the citizens of the Commonwealth of Virginia through the Livescan Project which aims to enhance the accuracy of incoming data, ensure timely submissions, and improve process monitoring, ultimately leading to more reliable results and improved Public Safety for our citizens.” – says Lt. Dominic Sottile, Criminal Justice Information Services Division, Virginia State Police.
