LEID Products Awarded Patent for BACS System
Provides Paramount Security, Management, and Tracking for Law Enforcement Assets
 Auburn Hills, MI – September 6, 2012 – LEID Products, LLC., the leader in electronic storage systems with built-in asset management and inventory control software, today announced it has been awarded a new patent for its Biometric Access Control System (BACS™) by the US Patent and Trademark Office. The BACS computer ID Station Kiosk interfaces with electronic access cabinets, lockers and SmartRail gun rack systems to provide the highest level of secure management and tracking of assets, weapons and evidence.
US Patent No. 8,207,816 covers the system developed by LEID Products. LEID Products’ state-of-the-art BACS ID Station Kiosk serves as the control point for access to assets stored in LEID’s electronic storage units. The kiosk houses a biometric (fingerprint) reader to allow only authorized users to access assets; each user is restricted to access only the items they have been qualified to use. For tracking purposes, the kiosk includes a RFID or barcode reader for asset verification. Additional layers of security can be added with options including a hand geometry scanner and card reader. Web-enabled remote management allows the administrator to manage the system at all times on and off-site.
Law enforcement clients typically use the BACS system to secure weapons, night vision goggles, tasers, AED’s, shotguns, AR15 rifles, surveillance equipment and more. BACS eliminates long-standing paper log methods, saving valuable employee time and resources while providing easily accessed and credible electronic tracking reports. The proven asset management system is used by federal, state and private sector clientele throughout the country to streamline operations. Added benefits of the asset management software include tracking equipment maintenance requirements and officer firearm training qualifications.
LEID Products expanded its product line with the introduction of the BACS Evidence Management System in October of 2011 at the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) Conference. Property and evidence control and tracking is a critical concern for law enforcement. The BACS Evidence Management System is designed to help departments meet standards required by the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement (CALEA®) as outlined in Chapter 84 “Property and Evidence Control”. Evidence ‘chain of custody’ is electronically tracked and accounted for with the BACS Evidence Management System, limiting liability and consequences of exposure to human error.
Recent enhancements to the system include version 2.0 of the BACS ID Station Kiosk, which enhances its sleek tamper proof construction with a larger kiosk screen for additional security and functionality. LEID Products also recently released a white paper detailing the financial benefits of the BACS System. The system will often pay off the initial investment in less than 18 months.
“Our systems offer the highest level of security and accountability available today,” said Sam Hoff, president of LEID Products. “The issuance of this patent supports our investment in BACS and its innovative technology; it reinforces our position as a leader in access control systems with built in asset management and inventory control software.”

“The North Andover Police Department is looking forward to the installation of the LEID Products biometric evidence system for our new police headquarters,” said Chief of Police, Paul J. Gallagher. “Evidence control must be strictly adhered to and chain of custody is a major factor in courtroom presentation. The system will allow our police and evidence officers to maintain detailed documentation and avoid defense motions.”

Introduced at the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) Conference in October of 2011, the BACS Evidence Management system is designed to help departments meet standards required by CALEA®, the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement, as outlined in Chapter 84 “Property and Evidence Control”.

The BACS Evidence Management ID Station Kiosk houses a biometric ID reader for access verification and the touch screen user navigation. The ID Station is also interfaced to LEID’s Electronic Evidence Lockers providing the secure temporary storage of evidence incoming and outgoing from police department property rooms. The system includes complete chain of custody custom software tracking and reporting capabilities to monitor all evidence transfers. Property room managers also have remote management capabilities to access, monitor and manage the system while off site. Additional layers of security can be added with options including: hand geometry scanner, ID card reader, RFID evidence reader, and evidence barcode reader.
“North Andover Police Department has been instrumental in formulating the blueprint in terms of needed requirements in the development of LEID Products new state-of-the-art evidence management system,” said Sam Hoff, president of LEID Products. “The process began over two years ago while the department was in the final phase of planning for their new station. Chief Gallagher has graciously agreed to allow us to invite fellow police chiefs to visit their building, if they wish to see the system once installed.”
North Andover Police Department is among a select group of accredited police departments in Massachusetts, recognized for their commitment to continually strive to increase department efficiency and accountability to minimize exposure to liability and to enhance public reputation. In May of 2010, North Andover Police Department became the 29th out of roughly 350 police departments to earn the highly-regarded accreditation from the Massachusetts Police Accreditation Commission.
