Ohio County's New Iris ID System Links Up With National Database
The Summit County Sheriff's Office in Ohio expects to have a new identification system operational next month based on digital photographs of the composition of the iris, the colored portion of the eye, and is far more accurate and speedy than conventional fingerprint identification. Sheriff Drew Alexander and Akron police Chief Michael Matulavich said both agencies will use the system in conjunction with a nationwide program called the Children's Identification and Location Database, known as the CHILD Project.
