THE PROBLEM
Subject identification in criminal investigation
Among the most important pieces of evidence found in criminal investigations are biometric samples of some kind, primarily latent fingerprints and palm prints on objects, as well as facial images captured on video.
Additionally, at forensic medical institutes, as well as at crime scenes, it is often necessary to identify bodies using biometric fingerprint samples.
Forensic experts often do not have the tools to help them identify to whom the trace evidence belong.
CONSEQUENCES
Difficulty identifying samples
The forensic examiner has no biometric database against which to automatically compare latent prints and faces. And when such a database does exist, comparison is laborious, as it must be performed manually.
Suspects left unidentified
As a result of the previously mentioned, suspects may remain unidentified.
Excessive time spent by the forensic expert
Bescuase of having to carry out latent fingerprint and facial verifications visually.
Slow and unreliable identification
Both of living individuals and of deceased persons, causing delays in investigations and prolonging the suffering of families.
Insufficient evidence
Evidence that cannot be presented in court as irrefutable proof.
Loss of critical evidence
Biometric samples collected are not fully utilized due to a lack of adequate technology.
THE SOLUTION
Verázial ID: Scientific precision for criminal investigations
Verázial ID uses the most advanced fingerprint, palm print, iris, and facial recognition technologies to accurately identify subjects and compare them with samples found at crime scenes. Whether they are latent fingerprints or palmprints, or faces captured in photos and videos.
It is the ultimate tool that forensic examiners need in their criminal investigation work.
Automatic comparison against multiple subjects
Against both the system’s own biometric database and those of external agencies. Usable in the laboratory and directly at the crime scene.
Ease of identification
Made possible by the wide range of tools available to the forensic expert.
Time savings for the forensic expert
Identifications are run automatically against the biometric database, presenting the examiner with the highest-probability matches within seconds.
Fast and secure identification
Identifications are completed in a matter of seconds, for both living and deceased individuals, connected in real time to the central biometric database.
Generation of multiple evidence
Supporting the expert in the preparation of their report.
