Sagem Sécurité: automated fingerprint identification for Interpol. Sagem Sécurité will supply Interpol and its 186 member states with the latest version of its automated fingerprint identification system, Metamorpho.

The announcement is part of a detailed agreement. In addition to automated processing, this new-generation system features the latest algorithms developed by the company, as well as fingerprint acquisition and transmission software in full compliance with international standards.

The latest version of the Metamorpho Afis will accelerate communications between Interpol headquarters in Lyon and the memberstates, enrich the fingerprint database, and increase the inquiry success rate.

“More highly automated searches give the end-user more control over the process,” explained Mark Branchflower, head of the fingerprint unit at Interpol. “This means that each national office will be able to develop its own work process, signalling real progress for Interpol and its member-states.”
