Sensors, Surveillance and Biometric Technologies Center of Excellence Announces Oct. 9 Webcast: Mobile Biometrics for Law Enforcement

New York, NY (PRWEB) October 6, 2008 -- International Biometric Group (IBG), on behalf of the Sensors, Surveillance & Biometric Technologies Center of Excellence, is pleased to announce its upcoming webcast: Mobile Biometrics for Law Enforcement to be held this Thursday, October 9th, at 1:00 pm EST.

Often times, technology used for law enforcement applications must meet difficult requirements which diverge substantially from other applications of mobile biometric technology.

IBG Consultant Olga Raskin will spend 30 minutes discussing biometric technologies in law enforcement, including topics such as:

*    An overview of current mobile biometric technologies

*    Uses and applications for mobile biometrics

*    Technology challenges

*    Emerging trends

*    The future of mobile biometrics in the law enforcement settings
