The New Mexico Department of Public Safety (NM-DPS) Technical and Emergency Support Division (TESD) announced the award of the new statewide Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS) to Sagem Morpho, Inc. New Mexico’s new system is composed of the MetaMorpho Automated Fingerprint and Palmprint Identification System (AFPIS), Sagem Morpho Integrated Livescan System (ILS2), as well as the Morpho Archive and Retrieval System (MARS).
The system is designed to evolve with technology and expand to integrate with other New Mexico criminal justice information systems and neighboring AFIS systems. Most important, NM-DPS will now be able to electronically submit records to IAFIS instead of manually submitting records to the FBI.
