Mexico. Two initiatives announced this week are a sign of the commitment that government entities in the Aztec country are making for biometric systems as a strategy to increase security indexes.
The first project to highlight is the iris scan that will be carried out on all the people detained in the city of León, as well as the registration of this in a database. As expressed to the local media by the mayor of the city, the intention is to use these iris captures as an additional registration system, added to fingerprints, that allows criminals to be easily identified.
The second initiative has to do with immigration control and consists of 4 biometric kiosks that will be installed at the ports of entry of the Mexican border for the verification of identity of visitors through fingerprints, irises and facial analysis.
The National Institute of Migration (INM) will be in charge of the implementation of the system, which is part of a joint work program between the Latin American country and the United States.
It was precisely the government of the latter country that delivered the equipment that will be used to increase security at the border, in a project that in the future hopes to increase the use of technological tools for this purpose.
