OBJECTIVE

The objective of this work element, sponsored by the National Institute of Justice (NIJ), is to develop a Web service,
which will allow an officer in the field to take a photo and upload it to a server, which will then match it against over
800,000 San Diego booking photos. Positive matches will then be processed on the server side and a proposed photo
line-up will be sent back to the law enforcement agent for comparison and the ability to run additional queries based on a
name and date-of-birth standard search. Emphasis in FY 2013 is on: (1) Incorporating the Tactical Identification System
application into the Automated Regional Justice Information System (ARJIS) Mobile environment; (2) rolling out the
application to existing ARJIS Personal Digital Assistant users; (3) obtaining system feedback; and (4) producing quarterly
and final reports for NIJ.
PREVIOUS ACCOMPLISHMENTS

Since 2004, ARJIS has led a successful wireless program that has resulted in thousands of positive identifications and
arrests. ARJIS has completed a privacy impact assessment on facial recognition, participates on the Federal Bureau of
Investigation's Facial Identification Scientific Working Group, and has completed an extensive market survey on existing
facial recognition products.
JUSTIFICATION

This product will enhance positive identification in the field by supplying officers with facial recognition capabilities from
both their hand-held or laptop computers. Facial recognition capabilities should result in more timely and accurate
identification of subjects; thus enhancing officer and public safety. This is a grant funded by the NIJ.
