PAPILLON FILTER Operation Results in the Central Internal Affairs Directorate in the Irkutsk Region, June 2008

At the beginning of 2008, 12 stationary booking and express ID check stations were installed in forensic science subdivisions of Irkutsk, Bratsk and Angarsk. Each of these stations is equipped with a PAPILLON DS-40 fingerprint and palmprint scanner and connected with the Central AFIS operating in the Central Internal Affairs Directorate in the Irkutsk Region.

During the first months of operation, it took about 2.5 minutes to verify the identity of a subject against the AFIS database containing 1 million tenprint records. This time reduced to 30 seconds after ad hoc matchers for processing express ID check inquiries had been installed at the Central AFIS site.

Since the beginning of its exploitation to June 2008, the express ID check technology ensured the identification of 1576 individuals, 12 from which proved to have fake last and first names.
