ImageWare CCS v3.0
ImageWare’s CCS v3.0 is a complete digital booking, investigative and identification solution that empowers law enforcement agencies to capture images including mug shots, scars, marks and tattoos as well as support real-time data sharing and the creation of multiple, distinct databases which many agencies use to quickly identify special groups such as gang members, sex offenders, inmates and even employees. This critical information can be accessed via PC, Web-based, wireless or data sharing platforms to ensure that criminal mug shots and data get into the hands of officers in a timely fashion; and for investigative purposes including the ability to create non-biased photo line-ups and mug books. Authorized CCS users can also create employee ID cards or prisoner wristbands, complete with photos and barcodes.
“The new and enhanced features in CCS v3.0 further proves ImageWare’s dedication to satisfying the current market requirements of our existing users as well as supporting our suite of products that spans a multitude of digital booking and investigative applications from facial recognition to real-time data sharing and identification,” said Joe Schuler, SVP of sales and marketing at ImageWare. “We are very excited about this new release and believe that CCS addresses a growing demand for high performance digital booking and investigative solutions.”
ImageWare’s CCS also features add-on facial recognition and digital composite sketching modules to further speed investigative process by enabling law enforcement officials to easily create a digital suspect composite. Using state of the art facial recognition technology, an agency’s mug shot database can be searched for potential matches to this composite. Facial recognition searches can be conducted from scanned and imported images as well.
CCS easily interfaces with existing RMS, JMS, Livescan and AFIS products as well as other agencies’ CCS systems. This ensures that data can be shared not only between systems, but between authorized agencies as well.
