What does FALCON mean to me?
I'm an officer on the street.
FALCON improves and expands positive biometric identification - directly to the end user and ties a criminal's identification - with fingerprints - to a criminal history which will be more complete and easier to understand than ever before. It also enables the comparison of palm prints and dynamic image management.
FALCON processes Livescan technology, a paperless, electronic means for obtaining a person's fingerprints and palm prints. Portable versions of this technology will be available for use in patrol cars for roadside or crime scene use. Scanned prints are then rapidly processed by FALCON, linking the identity to possible criminal histories, outstanding warrants, or other danger alerts.
Also, FALCON can pull information from local, state, and national databases.
It produces a clear, readable rap sheet. And because FALCON is multimedia, rap sheets can even combine text, photographs, and scans (scars, marks, and tattoos). FALCON will provided options for customizing the display of the rap sheet.
