Livescan

Livescan

Livescan (or Live Scan) refers to both the technique and the technology used by law enforcement agencies and private facilities to capture fingerprints and palm prints electronically, without the need for the more traditional method of ink and paper.

In the United States, most law enforcement agencies are using Livescan as their primary tool in the recognition of human individuals. [ [http://www.fingerprinting.com/live-scan-fingerprinting.php Fingerprinting.com - Live Scan Fingerprinting] ]

In the UK, many major police custody suites are now equipped with Livescan machines, which allows for suspects fingerprints to be instantly compared with a national database, IDENT1, and a result gained in a very short space of time, usually not longer than ten minutes.
