Canadian company releases booking and arrest solution tailored to U.S. market

What would Steve McGarrett think? (McGarrett, played by Jack Lord, would turn to Dano [James McArthur] at the end of each episode of Hawaii Five-0, and say: “Book him, Dano!”). Now, Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada-based Visiphor Corporation (OTC BB: VISRF) (TSX-V: VIS) (DE: IGYA) has released Version 2.0 of InForce AB, the company’s arrest, booking, and pre-booking application for law enforcement. The product incorporates face recognition and information sharing technologies, and the new version is targeted at the U.S. justice market.

InForce AB can capture and catalogue a mug shot, and then, using its face recognition engine, compare the image against single or multiple mug shot repositories to find matches. The application is also built on Visiphor’s core integration technology — the Briyante Integration Environment — so it can utilize standards-based Web services to connect to disparate data sources to share and query information. InForce AB can thus import, export, and search disparate data in police record management systems (RMS), jail management systems (JMS), and other repositories. It can also export and share data in conformance with the Global Justice XML Data Model (GJXDM). InForce AB can also be deployed to mobile data terminals in patrol cars and remote locations for pre-booking and search functionalities.
