Nigeria Police Force is set to introduce a digital Biometric Central Motor Registration System in place of the the
analogue Central Motor Registry.
The BCMR is a technological means of
attaching automobile owner’s personal data to his vehicle for proper
identification and protection. Force Public Relations Officer,
Frank Mba, explained at a news conference in Abuja, that the
new system was part of efforts in repositioning the police to
effectively tackle crimes and terror.
Under the system, hand-held machine would be used to verify the particulars of vehicles, rather than manual checking.
He added that “the decision informing
the introduction of the BCMR is against the backdrop of contemporary
security challenges bordering on terrorism, high incidence of car theft,
kidnapping and other crimes.’’
Mba said that the system was designed
for forensic analysis where fingerprints could be matched or verified
against registered fingerprints collected during the registration.
