Award Information
Description of original award (Fiscal Year 2024, $1,320,000)
The Virginia State Police will use funds to purchase 60 livescan units to be installed in courthouses, police departments, and sheriff’s offices throughout the Commonwealth to improve the communication and transfer of criminal arrest booking fingerprints and sex offender information, as well as other common livescan processes such as initiating employment background checks. These livescan units will provide fingerprint-based sex offender registration and offender record updates, including names, addresses, employers, schools, and vehicles. In addition, the livescan units will provide this information in an automated electronic process as part of our integrated Multi-modal Biometrics Identification System and Virginia Sex Offender Management System.
