MELVILLE, N.Y. -- 

The Hampton, Virginia Police Division’s Special Investigation Unit has partnered with Intellicheck (NYSE AMERICAN: IDN) and is utilizing Law ID® on their smartphones, while performing undercover surveillance, undercover operations, community safety initiatives and quality of life crimes enforcement. Uniformed and non-uniformed officers in the unit are using Law ID.

Law ID is making a significant difference for these officers who are deployed with access only to a mobile voice radio for contact. “By deploying Law ID, we have given these law enforcement agents the ability to instantly retrieve vital information that can make a crucial difference when encountering unknown individuals. It is a leap forward for their safety and for the safety of the citizens we serve,” said Hampton Police Chief Terry Sult.

The Hampton Police Department is committed to innovative ideas and progressive strategies that help keep residents safe and apprehend those who break the law. The rate at which Hampton police solve crimes is above the national average.

“Having instant access to essential information when and where you need it is a fundamental necessity for every law enforcement officer. We are proud to partner with the Hampton Police Department and provide them with Law ID because we know it will make an enormous contribution in successfully completing the difficult assignments they tackle every day. We look forward to making the same pivotal difference for law enforcement agencies across the country as we continue to expand our partnerships with the growing adoption of Law ID,” said Intellicheck CEO Bryan Lewis.

Law ID enables law enforcement personnel to quickly view highlighted query responses from information sought during an encounter. In addition to identification authentication, responses to queries include wanted person information, gang involvement, known or suspected terrorist data, violent felon information and other person-related records in law enforcement databases including the FBI’s National Crime Information Center (NCIC) databases. Photos of encountered subjects are also included, where made available by the states, as well as search results of an individual’s driver license. Officers can also obtain vehicle registration data as well as check whether items officers encounter such as weapons, articles, vehicles, boats, and license plates are reported stolen. The state-of-the-art technology solution is ideal for assisting in traffic stops, detective and undercover operations, security at outdoor events and everywhere law enforcement is on duty and immediately needs to know a contact’s threat status.
