Data Exchange Requirements 

(Details) 

 Fingerprints sent to State Identification Bur

searching against Florida Criminal Master F Unique identifier for the transaction, individual and  Interface Control Document available 

 www.fdle.state.fl.us/Content/FALCON/Menu/SystemRequirements/Current-FALCON-ICD.aspx 

 Fingerprint images must meet quality standa

ANSI/NIST-ITL in order to be usable and haenough associated metadata to ensure traceathe officer and device. 
Lessons Learned 

 Lessons learned – 

 Areas of most concern are user training and 

documentation of success stories. 

For both of these it has been imperative to dev

sustain relationships with the local agencies. 

 Continuous spot checking of transactions has he

identify issues that can quickly be addressed usuthrough additional training. 
Future Plans 

 Searching additional repositories – NDR flag 

 Recent approval to pilot connectivity to US-Visit via 

for Florida Domestic Security Task Forces. 

 Interoperability with other agencies 

 Regional States  Federal Partners – Currently discussing with FBI Fly

Teams and use of Quick Capture Devices by Florida Offices. 

 Livescan integration to perform Notice to 

Appear/Cite and Release arrests on scene.
