International Biometric Group (IBG) and the Sensors, Surveillance and Biometric Technologies Center of Excellence Announce October 9th Webcast: Mobile Biometrics for Law Enforcement
New York, NY (Issues Wire / PRWEB) October 6, 2008 -- International Biometric Group (IBG), on behalf of the Sensors, Surveillance & Biometric Technologies Center of Excellence, is pleased to announce its upcoming webcast: Mobile Biometrics for Law Enforcement to be held this Thursday, October 9th, at 1:00 pm EST.
