Justification for getting your own AFIS and/or APIS

AFIS and APIS stand-alone desktop PrintQuest PC Systems are now available and AFFORDABLE while offering the same powerful tools as found on state/federal AFIS and higher accuracy, we believe. Compare, show results to your boss. You have examples of cases where the large AFIS disappointed you? Get them together and call us for a demo.

Get the Full Fingerprint & Palmprint from ONE single vendor for better support, guarantee full compatibility, system support and application understanding. You may already be a SceneScope user or a CrimeScope user, well we have the interface for you to get the latents right into AFIS, PrintQuest that is.

Get FULL control over your database, your processes: If a case is critical for you, you may want to spend a lot of time on it, and resubmit the same latent with various minutiae configurations until you get the hit you wait for… Do you think the state AFIS operator will have time to dedicate so much effort for your case ?

Assign the priorities YOURSELF for all your searches, get immediate results. PrintQuest is also a powerful tool for case presentation.

Process even the poor quality latents which State AFIS often refuses (They have stricter conditions based on the large size of their database). Solve more cases !

Review as many candidates as you wish in the list offered by PrintQuest. Do you know how many candidates the state AFIS operators go through … Solve more cases. Trust PrintQuest to have the real hit PRESENT in the list, and ranked HIGH in the list.

Enter all cards you wish to enter, from any crime level, from YOUR local area, and get that highly accurate database for your town or county. Nothing prevents you, from sending your latents to the State and of course you should send them, but a larger proportion of crimes are committed by locals, so with your local AFIS, get your hits NOW, get MORE card hits, get MORE latent to latent hits, link crime scenes.

When you arrest a suspect, search his ten-print card and get results immediately (potential duplicates with different names are detected, and any corresponding latents).

Having your own AFIS and learning much more about the latent process, will help your crime scene people do a better job on their latent collection.

For APIS, few central databases offer palm capability, and even fewer offer satisfactory accuracy, so get your own palm database, create it quickly PrintQuest is fully automated for palm card entry, i.e. no manual checking of patterns, minutiae, etc.

Start collecting Palm cards and Palm latents, and you WILL solve 25-35% MORE cases.

Risks with large central AFIS databases:

Does the operator of the State AFIS work for you? Does he have time to allocate to your case, like your people will when necessary?

Do you know how many cards are in the Central AFIS, and what is the current actual % of chance your latent hit will be in the first 10-20 candidates and reviewed?

Does the Central AFIS software use high accuracy matching using true Skeleton information for the searches?

Why does a submission of 12 latents to the state come back with only 3 hits, while PrintQuest hits on all 12? For many possible reasons, operator mistake, poor AFIS algorithm, good algorithm but oversized database for its capability.

DID YOU KNOW THIS: PrintQuest is the ONLY low cost AFIS/APIS System with FBI certified "Scanner/Scanning software". Tested for 500 dpi and 1000 dpi requirements.

One last reason...
You and your boss will be REAL happy the first time you see this result:

And
you will get a lot more like it in no time.
