Findings from Pseudo Law Enforcement Operational Trials Using Smartphone Contactless Fingerprint Capture Technologies for Search Use-cases

The UK Home Office and Dstl have been investigating contactless fingerprint capture technologies using Smartphones for a number of years. As the technology has matured, recent trials have focused on assessing the usability, capture and performance considerations in operational law enforcement environments. A number of technology solutions have been evaluated in a variety of operational scenarios. The presentation will run through the trials approach, key findings and the next steps.
