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.

The purpose of this case study is to allow you the opportunity to apply the concepts and information you learned in this and all other units with regards to the development, implementation, and proposed future use of biometrics, identification, screening, and intervention technologies within the homeland security and domestic response operations construct. This assignment also provides you with the opportunity to use your skills, expertise, and experience to enrich your response.
