L-1 Identity Solutions Delivers New Version of Hand-held Mobile Biometric Device for Faster, Safer and More Accurate Identification of Suspects.

Several Police Departments and Sheriff's Offices Nationwide Set to Deploy New Version

STAMFORD, Conn. -- L-1 Identity Solutions, Inc. (NYSE: ID) today announced the availability of a new version of the Integrated Biometric Identification System (IBIS) that offers advanced ease-of-use and flexibility, improved officer safety and lower cost of implementation when used to identify suspects in the field. The Portland (OR) Police Department, Hennepin County (MN) Sheriff Office, Los Angeles County and San Bernardino-Riverside (CA) Sheriffs' Offices are set to deploy this version of L-1's next-generation hand-held mobile biometric identification device.

"Mobile identification has dramatically changed the way our agencies deal with suspects in the field. It allows our officers to have access to information in real-time so they know whether someone is wanted right away," said Lieutenant Jeff Rose of the San Bernardino County Sheriff Department, a long-time user of the IBIS system.

IBIS, which is made by Identix Incorporated, a wholly owned subsidiary of L-1, works in conjunction with standard Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) to capture and wirelessly transmit fingerprints and photographs of subjects - alive or recently deceased - and remotely search for matches against known offenders in multiple centralized databases, simultaneously. These databases include law enforcement Automated Fingerprint Identification Systems (AFIS) and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Automated Biometric Identification System (IDENT). IBIS enables law enforcement, border patrol, security officers, and forensic investigators to receive immediate and accurate information in the field about their suspects (including name, date of birth, and mug shot photo) that can improve the accuracy of arrests and aid overall officer safety.

Lieutenant Rose added, "Criminals are transient, and with 61 law enforcement agencies in our county using the system, we also benefit from the information-sharing capability that mobile identification provides, saving time, money, and making us more effective in our jobs. In 2006, using mobile identification technology, we made approximately 7,100 identifications and arrested 780 subjects for various crimes including homicide, robbery, and various warrant arrests. During the first week of operation, one of our deputies identified and arrested a reputed gang member with $2.6 million dollars in outstanding warrants. The gang member was considered armed and dangerous and later bragged about giving false information to police officers in another jurisdiction."

The newest version of IBIS weighs less than a pound, can fit on a belt, is operable with one hand, and does not require the expensive and time-consuming logistics of installing cradles into police cruisers. The IBIS system includes an advanced optical sensor and a card reader to scan identification documents, such as a driver's license. The device is flexible, allowing agencies to deploy IBIS in a number of configurations within any existing smart-phone and PDA technologies, without duplicating cellular transmission costs.

IBIS has been available from Identix since 1999 and there are nearly 600 devices in active use today that perform thousands of searches against known offenders in local and federal databases. For example, today DHS in Minnesota uses IBIS for access into both the MN regional Bureau of Criminal Apprehension database and the DHS IDENT system.

"IBIS is the only mobile identification solution proven in large scale deployments, with over 24,000 field searches to date through our mobile devices," said Jim Moar, President of Identix. "Our technology continues to perform better, faster and with a higher standard of quality image than anything in the market. It also offers seamless interoperability with third-party AFIS systems, making this a natural choice for any local, state or federal agency and department."

The latest version of IBIS is available immediately. The unit price averages $1,500 per device (excluding PDA), with quantity-based pricing discounts available. Complete solution implementations, including workflow management customization, are also available.
