They strategically use either a physiological modality, a behavioral modality or a combination of both &#8212; the most common modalities in use are fingerprints, iris and facial recognition, gait, and voice recognition. The rapid implementation of biometrics has sparked a revolution within the global law enforcement and security industry.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12095\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12095\" style=\"width: 5170px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12095 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.m2sys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/police-car-on-the-street-PM9NA4Q.jpg\" alt=\"Law-Enforcement-Agencies-are-Using-Biometrics\" width=\"5170\" height=\"3446\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.m2sys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/police-car-on-the-street-PM9NA4Q.jpg 5170w, https:\/\/www.m2sys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/police-car-on-the-street-PM9NA4Q-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.m2sys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/police-car-on-the-street-PM9NA4Q-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.m2sys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/police-car-on-the-street-PM9NA4Q-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 5170px) 100vw, 5170px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12095\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Law Enforcement Agencies are Using Biometrics<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Biometrics in Law Enforcement<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Biometrics are not a new security tool in law enforcement.
