BIO-key International Inc, a leader in wireless public safety solutions and finger-based biometric identification, has been awarded a contract valued for more than $180,000 to equip the Detroit Public School system with BIO-key’s PocketCOP mobile data communications software.
With BIO-key’s PocketCOP solution, the Detroit Public School police officers will have mobile, real time, silent, secure access to local, state and national criminal justice databases for information on suspects, vehicles, and weapons.
