LONDON: Home office has introduced a new mobile technology in collaboration with National Counter Terrorism security Office (NaCTSO) to combat terrorism and serious crimes in UK. An official source said.
Counter terrorism police funding has also been increased by around £50 million to £757 million. This is in recognition of the changing threat from terrorism and to ensure counter terrorism policing has the resources to respond and keep the public safe. New mobile fingerprinting technology will allow frontline officers across the country to use their smartphones to identify people in less than a minute, saving police time and reducing costs.
People indulged in any type of terrorism or serious crime could be arrested at the time. An app on an officer?s phone, combined with a hand held scanner, will mean police will be able to check fingerprints against both criminal and immigration records by connecting to the two live databases (IDENT1 and IABS) via the new Biometric Services Gateway.
West Yorkshire Police (WYP), who worked with the Home Office to trial the new system, will begin an initial roll out of 250 scanners to officers in the coming weeks, the app is already available to its 5,500 frontline officers. It is expected that another 20 forces across the country will roll out the system by the end of this year.
Minister for Policing and the Fire Service Nick Hurd said in a statement that Biometric Services Gateway is just one of a series of national systems the Home Office is designing with policing to give officers information at their fingertips faster than ever before. By cutting out unnecessary trips to and from the police station, mobile technology is really helping to save valuable time and allowing officers to do what they do best, cutting crime and keeping us safe. ?The Biometric Services Gateway, enabled by Home Office technology, will also lead to significant costs savings, with the new system available at a fraction of the cost of those currently in use. The scanners used by WYP cost less than £300, 10% of the cost of current mobile fingerprint systems.? Minister said.
To ensure the information accessed from the Biometric Services Gateway remains secure, fingerprints are not stored and are automatically deleted from the device once they have been checked.
As well as identifying a person of interest who may be withholding their name, the technology enables officers to rapidly identify.The combination of these digital solutions brings tangible benefits to policing our communities, fingerprints of suspects could be sent from the street to a live time national database and operational perspective, they quickly open investigative leads into combat terrorism and serious crimes. In a separate statement, West Yorkshire?s Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC), Mark Burns-Williamson and National APCC lead on Forensics and Biometrics said that the introduction of the Biometrics Services Gateway shows how police is once again leading the way with new technology and builds on the investment.
