Law enforcement biometrics refers to applications of biometric systems which aids policing. Biometrics Research Group Inc. projects that the global law enforcement biometrics market will grow to US$18 billion by 2020 from its 2015 value of US$7.5 billion.

The law enforcement market includes the use of biometrics to identify or verify the identity of individuals who have been: apprehended or incarcerated because of criminal activity, suspected of criminal activity, or whose movement is restricted as a result of criminal activity. Biometrics may be used to identify non-cooperative or unknown subjects, to ensure that the correct inmates are released, or to verify that users under home arrest are in compliance.

The wide-ranging “law enforcement biometrics category” includes automated fingerprint identification and recognition, mobile biometrics identification devices, criminal ID solutions, as well as access control systems.
