Biometric Intelligence & Identification Technologies (BI2 Technologies) of Plymouth, Massachusetts and Watch Systems of Covington, Louisiana announced in July 2008 that they have entered into joint marketing agreement to offer their respective cutting edge technologies, which register and track convicted sex offenders using iris recognition biometric technology and web based notification.

BI2 Technologies’ Sex Offender Registry and Identification System (SORIS™) enrolls and positively identifies convicted sexual predators using iris recognition biometric technology, the quickest and most accurate identification technology available. Iris recognition biometric technology positively determines the identity of an individual by capturing a high-resolution digitally encrypted photograph of an individual’s iris. The technology can tell the difference between twins or even an individual’s right and left eye. The technology is non-intrusive – requiring the person to simply look into the camera.

Endorsed by the National Sheriffs Association and the National Association of Triads the 911 Cell Phone Bank is working to ensure that seniors and victims have access to emergency 911 communications.

The 911 Cell Phone Bank was created to provide an ongoing and readily available source of 911 emergency cell phones and funds to meet unexpected and urgent needs of participating law enforcement and affiliated victims services agencies. As one of the largest providers of no-cost emergency cell phones, the 911 Cell Phone Bank distributes over 2,000 no-cost emergency cell phones every month.
