NY military unit gets savvy on ID reading

PORT TOWNSEND, US: Intellicheck Mobilisa, a player in access control and wireless security systems, announces that it has received a contract from another New York-area military base for Fugitive Finder, a handheld ID-reading technology that scans various forms of identification and instantly compares the information to over 100 government databases in order to provide background checks.

Steve Williams, Chief Executive Officer of Intellicheck Mobilisa, commented: “Security threats to military bases are unfortunately still a regular part of military life. As we have seen all too often, these threats are very real, and the military is doing everything in their power to reduce them. Fugitive Finder offers these bases an added layer of security, allowing for real-time ‘bad guy’ checks right at the gate.”

This latest customer joins a growing list of military and government facilities in the New York area to choose Intellicheck Mobilisa’s Fugitive Finder system, it claims that is a list that includes Fort Drum, West Point Military Academy, and the Ports of New York/New Jersey.
