Patrol Tenprint Scanner
The Patrol Tenprint Scanner is a livescan biometric device used for capturing high-quality digital fingerprint images. It is manufactured by HID Global (following their acquisition of Cross Match Technologies) and is designed for high-accuracy identity applications in government, civil, and law enforcement sectors.
Here is a detailed breakdown of its function, features, and model variations.
- Core Function and Use
The Patrol Tenprint Scanner is an optical scanner designed for livescan fingerprint acquisition, replacing traditional ink-and-paper methods.
Key Applications:
Criminal Booking: Capturing fingerprints and palm prints for law enforcement databases.
4 Civil ID and Enrollment: Used for registering citizens for national IDs, voter registration, and other large-scale government programs (e.g., Trusted Traveler Programs).
Background Checks: Acquiring high-quality prints for employment screening and regulatory compliance.
Border Control: Fast and reliable identity verification at checkpoints.
The term "Tenprint" refers to its ability to capture all ten fingers, typically through a combination of "slap" prints (four fingers pressed down simultaneously) and individual rolled prints.

Image Quality and Certifications
The Patrol scanner is highly certified, which is crucial for government and law enforcement applications:
FBI Appendix F (FAP 60) Certified: This is the highest level of certification for fingerprint quality, ensuring the images meet the FBI's rigorous Next Generation Identification (NGI) Image Quality Specifications (IQS). A FAP 60 device has the capture area necessary for four-finger slap prints and rolled prints.
Patented Features for Efficient Capture
The device incorporates several features to ensure high-quality images and an efficient process:
Guided Capturing Process: LEDs illuminate on the device to indicate which fingers the user needs to place on the platen, simplifying the process for the operator and the subject.
Patented Auto-Capture: The scanner automatically takes the image when the quality reaches an acceptable standard (compliant with Appendix F), eliminating guesswork and saving time.
Optional Silicone Membrane: This option helps subjects with very dry skin achieve better contact with the sensor platen, which improves the contrast between ridges and valleys for a higher quality image.
Model Variation: Patrol vs. Patrol ID
The Patrol family often includes two primary models with a key difference in capability:
| Feature | HID Patrol Tenprint Scanner (Standard) | HID Patrol ID Scanner |
| Rolled Prints | YES (Can capture both rolled and flat prints) | NO (Captures flat/slap prints only) |
| Function | Full enrollment (Criminal Justice, High-Assurance Civil) | Identification Flats (Civil ID, Applicant Background Checks) |
| Price Point | Generally a higher price point | Generally a more economical option |
Both scanners are certified for FBI Appendix F and feature the same robust design and resolution.
