In a press release, MorphoTrak asserted that its MorphoFace Investigate platform has already “enabled the Honolulu Police Department to identify previously unknown criminal suspects and homicide victims,” and CEO Celeste Thomasson said that the “Honolulu Police Department’s successful use and statewide expansion is a tribute to their advanced work with this important technology.”
Biometric technology is increasingly finding its way into police arsenals, whether in the form of fingerprint scanning, voice biometrics or facial recognition software, as in this case. Recently, FindBiometrics reported on a new partnership between voiceprint biometrics company AGNITiO and Morpho that will see the former’s Voice iD technology bolstering the company’s Criminal Justice Suite.
