Metropolitan Police Service adopts mobile fingerprint scanners

The Metropolitan Police Service has rolled out NPIA mobile fingerprint scanners, meaning officers will be able to check an individual’s identity within two minutes while on the beat. It is the 25th force in the country to adopt the scanners since they were launched last year.

“Identification is crucial to police investigations,” says NPIA director of operations Tom McArthur, “and giving officers the ability to do this on the spot within minutes is giving them more time to spend working in their communities, helping to fight crime, bringing more offenders to justice and better protecting the public.”
