answer: PNP is now adopting NEC's-Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS) as biometric technology effectively raising the bar in its crime detection and prevention. Biometrics is the revolutionary technology now widely used for both civilian and criminal identification security systems and crime detection work. It authenticates unique body demographics such as fingerprint, and enables an almost instantaneous identification. The PNP Crime Laboratory attributes the early resolution of several cases resulting from the use of AFIS. This includes the identification and arrest last year of the elusive "Pajero Lady" whose real name is Ma. Lourdes de Guzman - long wanted for a string of robbery cases whose victims were mostly government and military officials.
Two weeks ago, the PNP Crime Laboratory used AFIS and promptly identified two "chop-chop" victims whose mutilated body parts were dumped in separate places in Quezon City and Muntinlupa. The laboratory ran the fingerprints in their database and quickly ascertained the identities of the two apparent victims of summary execution.
