The Police Department has sixty thousand fingerprints collected over 40 years on file and now they are being entered into a massive computer database. It's an initiative sponsored by the US Government which has provided Belize with 6 electronic fingerprint scanning units.
One unit will be assigned to the main police station in each district and it will be used to take finger prints electronically. But the priority right now is on getting those tens of thousands on file and AFIX TECHNOLOGIES - which provides the equipment - has sent 4 employees to Belize to assist the Police Department in getting those into the system with high speed scanners.
