ImageWare gets order for biometric identity management system in Canadian city

ImageWare Systems has just received an order from the city of Fredericton in New Brunswick, Canada, for a biometric identity management and booking system, worth approximately $125,000.

We are proud to play a role in enhancing security for the city of Fredericton and look forward to similar agreements in the future.”

According to the company, the city will also use ImageWare’s “EPI Designer for LE reporting software,” to create employee or inmate badges.
