Business Editors/High-Tech Writers

ANAHEIM, Calif.--Oct. 9, 2000--Printrak International Inc. (Nasdaq: AFIS), a leading global supplier of enterprise software and related services for information management and decision support, today announced the successful initial deployment of their LiveScan Station 3000(TM) Palmprint Capture module.

The LSS 3000(TM), which offers advanced palmprint capabilities, was recently installed and tested as part of a beta project at the Miami-Dade Police Department. The LSS 3000(TM) beta unit was installed at the Miami-Dade Juvenile Assessment Center (JAC) on August 6, 2000, and testing officially concluded on September 23, 2000. The Miami-Dade Police Department is one of the only agencies in the U.S. that currently stores and searches palmprint images using an electronic database.

"We are extremely enthusiastic about Printrak's latest technology, the LSS 3000(TM), and the additional palm capture capabilities," said Glen Calhoun, Superintendent of the Fingerprint Identification Section of the Miami-Dade Police Department. "The system provides superior levels of clarity and detail quality in all palm and rolled print processing. In fact, we are so impressed with the system's performance that we have recently purchased the LSS 3000(TM) beta unit, and ordered 10 additional units for our agency."

The Printrak LSS 3000(TM) is the only LiveScan product on the market today that offers a completely integrated booking solution, including mugshot, palm and ten-print capture capabilities, in one standalone unit.

The Printrak LSS 3000(TM) offers several new features including the Print Acquisition Scanner, that provides increased flexibility, accuracy and overall ease of use, with two scanning platens, one for rolled prints and one that allows for palm and slap images. The unit takes advantage of user interfaces and workflow processes that are consistent with Printrak's previous LiveScan products, reducing the amount of time necessary for training.

In addition to superior ease of use, the new LSS 3000(TM) also features local image processing, which saves agencies time by extracting minutiae locally, automatic slap to roll comparison and Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS) quality control, which ensures submission acceptance.

The LiveScan Station 3000(TM), series U (designed for UNIX) and series N (designed to address the growing market of Windows NT(TM) networks), workstations are now available. Also available is Printrak's DeskScan 3000(TM), specifically designed to support the employment, enrollment and other various requirements for civil and public agency applications.
