WALL, N.J., March 11, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BIO-key International, Inc. (NASDAQ: BKYI), an innovative provider of biometric authentication and security solutions, today announced that the Dubai Police Force has purchased BIO-key's biometric authentication solution for internal network log-in and to secure access to critical data. This contract follows last month’s announced sale to the Singapore Police Force.
The Dubai Police will utilize BIO-key's ID Director for Windows, which integrates with the organization's Active Directory authentication platform, along with 2,000 BIO-key’s PIV Pro finger scanners.
The Dubai Police Force employs over seventeen thousand officers and is considered one of the most forward thinking and progressive law enforcement organizations in the Middle East. They were the first Arab police force to apply DNA testing in criminal investigations, the first to use electronic fingerprinting, as well as the first to utilize electronic services. The Dubai Police were also pioneers in the deployment of GPS tracking systems to locate Police Patrols and aid in operations. As a result of such initiatives, the Dubai Police Force has been recognized with the “Dubai Award for Government Performance” and ISO 2000:9001 certification for applying quality management systems in all police fields.
