FACES 4.0 FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT

FACES 4.0, developed by IQ Biometrix, is an award winning composite tool that is being used by thousands of law enforcement agencies worldwide, including the FBI, CIA, US Department of Defense and US Navy. With FACES 4.0, composites can be created quickly and inexpensively in order to solve crimes. FACES 4.0 helps identify and track criminal suspects through the development of accurate, photo-like composites based on witness interviews or other evidence such as video surveillance.

FACES is fully compatible with Face Plus facial recognition technology from DataWorks Plus. The integration allows composites to be matched against mugshot or other ID databases to verify identity. This makes it possible for law enforcement agencies to build a composite of a suspect, electronically search known offender records, come up with a match set, and present a “virtual line-up” for positive identification by the witness. The ability of the FACES ID code to be transmitted between agencies or between jurisdictions allows composites to be run against multiple databases.

Easy to Use

The FACES 4.0 user interface makes it easy for any police officer to create accurate composites with a click of a mouse. No forensic artist skills or experience are required. With FACES 4.0, composites can be created quickly and inexpensively and used to solve crimes when a professional sketch artist isn’t available. FACES 4.0 can be used on any standard desktop or laptop computer running Microsoft Windows 98 or better.

Facial Database

With a database of 4,400 facial features, including Latin, African-American and Asian components, FACES 4.0 lets you create accurate composites of either sex and any race. Selected features are blended together to produce a photo-quality composite image. The system also includes the ability to enhance image accuracy by choosing among three different hair tones; adding facial markings such as scars, moles, piercings, tattoos and earrings; and using hats, headwear and eyeglasses.

Facial ID Codes

An exclusive feature of FACES 4.0 is that it automatically generates a Biometric Alphanumeric Code (BAC) for every facial composite you develop. The 56-digits in the BAC code represent the specific facial features (eyes, nose, mouth, etc) in the FACES 4.0 image. This digital “fingerprint” can be transmitted between police agencies in any format (phone, fax, email) and used to recreate an FACES image in exact detail. BAC code transmission – less than 1KB - is ideal for wireless transmission between police cars and stations.

Police Bulletins and Alerts

FACES 4.0 allows for easy export of facial images as JPEG files that can be included in police bulletins and advisories. FACES 4.0 also has integration capability with TRAK II, the emergency alert solution that allows police, as well as other authorities such as government, military, health and emergency response agencies, to rapidly and securely share vital information with each other and with the public. FACES 4.0 composites can be exported into TRAK II emergency alerts for child abduction notifications, homeland security threats, registered sex offender notifications, and wanted or missing person cases.
