BULLETIN NUMBER: 23 – 09
SUBJECT: Mobile ID units
INFORMATION:
The Mountain View Police Department has recently purchased five (5) Mobile ID units. These
units allow officers to verify a person’s identity by taking their fingerp rints in the field, which
negates the need to transport them to AIB if they have fingerprints on file with CJIC, Cal DOJ,
or the FBI. These units only have the ability to compare fingerprints to make an identificatio n;
they are not able to replac e the Livescan prebooking process.
Only authorized users are able to log in and operate these devices. All officers are welcome to
become an authorized user once they submit their fingerprints via Livescan (in-house) . Althoug h
everyo ne w as fingerprinted pri or to being hired, this needs to be done again because the Mobile
ID units require a fingerprint scan before you can access the system.
Briefing training will be conducted to teach those assigned to patrol how to operate t hese units.
Officers/ Detectives not assigned to patrol who would like to become authorized users can
contact Sgt. Beraha to have training scheduled.
Please review the following attached documents:
- Santa Clara County Mobile ID Training Manual
- Mobile ID qui ck start guide
