Biometric Case Study

Case Study Scenario:

Because of your technical and academic expertise as a graduate of CSU, and your experience in this arena, you have been tasked to produce a brief white paper that will be provided to stakeholders and the media which defines, clarifies, and defends your agency's/organization's decision to implement a biometric, identification, screening, and/or intervention technology (of your choosing) that has been implemented or proposed for implementation that will best address your specific area of responsibility (AOR) and public safety mission.
