ImageWare Systems To Speed Investigation And Enable Data Sharing At The SeaTac Police Department
SAN DIEGO, CA, October 6, 2003 - ImageWare Systems, Inc. (AMEX: IW)
today announced that the Company will supply the SeaTac Police Department with its Crime Capture System® (CCS) to speed the initiation of investigative processes and enable data sharing with the King County Sheriff’s Office, the County’s primary adult detention facility and an ImageWare customer since 1998. By implementing ImageWare’s CCS at the SeaTac Police Department, officers within the City of SeaTac will no longer be required to drive out of their districts to conduct investigative procedures such as generating photo line-ups, scanning or importing criminal photos, and creating digital mugbooks.
“ImageWare’s CCS will provide us with an enormous advantage, not only by linking us with the King County Sheriff’s Office to exchange suspect information, but also quickly and efficiently streamlining our investigative processes,” said Capt. Greg Dymerski of the SeaTac Police Department. “We are always looking to provide our officers with the necessary tools to help them reduce crime and improve public safety.”
“We are very pleased to be playing a critical role in assisting the SeaTac PD with its investigative process as well as enabling them to share critical, real-time data with the King County Sheriff’s Office,” said Jim Miller, chairman and CEO of ImageWare. “ImageWare has been providing law enforcement agencies with real-time data sharing solutions for more than five years and is committed to proactively developing progressive technologies that get mission-critical data into the hands of our law enforcement officers when and where they need it most.”
