A Recent Press Release


Dorset, Bedfordshire & Leicestershire Police go USB Biometric.

"In order to reduce concerns over moving IT data securely, Dorset, Beds & Leicestershire Police Constabularies have taken positive steps to protect their IT data with the use of a new Biometric USB flash drive.

Most conventional USB flash drives have little if no security features; so if they are lost or stolen then anyone can access the data held on the USB stick via a PC.

The new finger print secure flash drives use Carry It Easy s/w from CoSoSys. MicroRiver's USB drive has two levels of protection;

1) A conventional password

2) Biometric.

Up to 10 finger print impressions can be stored. Hence the user would need the password (if set up) or the correct finger print image to gain access to either the 1GB, 2GB, 4GB, 8GB or 16GB USB Flash Pen drive.

Typical applications of for the smaller devices are to store MS Offices data - e.g. Word, PowerPoint etc, whilst the larger storage volumes have benefits in capturing High-Resolution, Scene of Crime images and Video-Capture within car number plate recognition systems".


Gerry Toms Sales Director for MicroRiver, commented at the time that:

"He was delighted that Dorset, Beds, & Leics Police Forces use this device, giving us ten UK Police customers. In fact we have a further eleven UK police forces evaluating the same product.

This type of device is perfect for anyone moving or carries data which needs to be secure; hence you will never be concerned if it was lost or stolen"

Majid Ali, Managing Director of MicroRiver said:

"This is further endorsement of our growing stature as a leading provider of both IT & Telecoms solutions, since we were formed in 2002 we have continued to specialise in providing users with a range of enhanced security products and services."
