Botswana Police Service (BPS) has selected Sagem Sécurité to supply and deploy the latest version of its Metamorpho AFIS system.

The system will be installed in 61 sites around the country, and will be used to process fingerprints and palm prints. It features 1000 pixels per inch image capture.

“Ten years ago Botswana chose our AFIS for its civilian ID cards,” says Jean-Paul Jainsky, chairman and CEO of Sagem Sécurité. “Our latest generation AFIS will enable the country’s Criminal Record Bureau (CRB) to increase its crime solving cases very quickly, and will of course help them manage resources more efficiently.
