HID Global, a worldwide leader in trusted identity solutions recognized with Triple 2021 ‘ASTORS’ Homeland Security Awards, which was recently Nominated in the 2022 ‘ASTORS’ Awards Program, has received its RAPID ID certification from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE).
The FDLE FALCON Rapid ID Certified Solution, which consists of the HID NOMAD™ 30 mobile fingerprint reader, a 2020 ‘ASTORS’ Award Winner for Best Law Enforcement Mobile Device, the HID ArcID™ Mobile app, and the sophisticated HID Commander™ software, will empower law enforcement officers to conduct mobile biometric identification on-the-fly, improve daily encounters, and strengthen safety measures for Florida’s law enforcement and the civilians they serve.
HID Rapid ID will handle the heavy lifting for cross-checking fingerprints against FDLE’s FALCON Integrated Criminal History System database and the FBI’s Repository for Individuals of Special Concern (RISC) database.
The officers simply tap the app to securely capture and transmit the individual’s prints and receive hit or no-hit responses in a matter of minutes.

Law enforcement agencies are modernizing their policing practices when it comes to verifying suspects from the field.
As they continue to work towards maintaining law and order across societies, HID’s Rapid ID Solution brings new-found levels of efficiency and intelligence to officers on patrol around the globe.
The affordable, easy-to-use ‘tap the app’ HID Rapid ID Solution has never been more convenient and intuitive because it’s designed to work with existing devices like smartphones that are already in the hands of officers.
Rapid ID enables agencies and officers to capture fingerprints and verify the identity from anywhere so they can remain agile and stay ahead of suspects during routine traffic stops and daily encounters while on the beat.
HOW IT WORKS
Officers capture two fingerprints using the HID NOMAD™ 30 mobile fingerprint reader, then tap the app on their mobile phone to submit the prints.

Rapid ID runs point to securely capture, transmit and cross-check prints against state and federal databases with even broader enforcement capabilities – reporting back results with acute accuracy in minutes.
The HID RAPID ID Solution is a compact mobile fingerprint reader built for frequent use and incorporates reliable sensors ideal for outdoor circumstances – dust, sunlight, heat, and moisture.
It accurately reads prints regardless of dirt, sweat, dryness, or worn down/shallow fingerprints.
HID RAPID ID is designed to be rugged in support of enforcement endeavors in all types of use cases and environments.
The solution is FBI Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) compliant, and all digital transactions are conducted within a secure environment that meets the state of Florida and federal security policies.
Not only does HID Rapid ID keep Florida’s officers in the field safe, but it is developed to work with and alongside their existing mobile devices for a familiar, seamless digital experience that’s both rewarding and highly productive.
With the newly acquired FDLE FALCON Rapid ID Certification, HID Rapid ID is providing law enforcement with next-level efficiency and intelligence regarding verifying identities in the field.
The HID Global team is committed to continuously improving the identification process by utilizing proven mobile biometric tools to quickly identify subjects with arrest warrants or those with records in Florida state and federal criminal databases.
The HID RAPID ID Solution is one of the advanced offerings available to modern-day police forces – and is already being used by law enforcement agencies.
