Forensics Europe Expo - Conference programme

Modern criminal investigations are undergoing a radical shift as law enforcement agencies replace manual workflows with multimodal biometric technologies to improve identification speed and accuracy. This session explores this transformation through real-world deployments that have redefined forensic and frontline policing.

Brazil serves as the primary case study, highlighting how the Polícia Civil do Distrito Federal (PCDF) modernized its investigative capabilities. By implementing the Innovatrics ABIS, Brazil achieved a 99% identification rate, leveraging automated latent fingerprint matching and AI-assisted facial recognition to solve high-profile cold cases. The deployment also introduced specialized fingerprint algorithms for child identification, addressing a critical gap in traditional forensic systems.

Additional examples from Indonesia and Guinea illustrate the global impact of these technologies:

Indonesia: Reduced field identification times from weeks to just 5 seconds across a network of 3,000 stations.

Guinea: Transitioned from paper archives to a fully digitized forensic system, slashing suspect identification times from hours to seconds.

Attendees will gain practical insights into the operational impact of AI-assisted forensics and the lessons learned from deploying large-scale biometric solutions in diverse policing environments.
