FaceFirst expands its existing facial recognition services in Panama Airport

New terminal at Tocumen International Airport to employ facial recognition software.

LOS ANGELES – FaceFirst, a facial recognition software system, continues its growth in International airports with the expansion of services into the North Terminal (Terminal Muelle Norte), at the Tocumen International Airport in Panama. FaceFirst has demonstrated great success in securing the Panama Airport and multiple Panama border crossings since its implementation at the Tocumen Airport in 2011.

The software has provided the following benefits for national security:

  • Enabled the capture of multiple Interpol suspects
  • Enabled the ongoing tracking and captures of multiple regional and nationally wanted persons
  • Enabled the geo-fencing of authorized people throughout the facility

These capabilities are especially vital due to the increasingly high volume of traffic through Tocumen International Airport, reaching approximately 7.8 million people in 2013 alone, and nearly doubling in size the last five years.

“The FaceFirst facial recognition system installed at Tocumen is capable of detecting 30 people per day who have a police record or who are wanted by Interpol, and thus are not allowed to enter the country,” explained Jose Mulino, Panama’s Minister of Public Security.

“We are proud to be a part of this $936 million investment in the expansion of Tocumen International Airport,” says FaceFirst CEO, Joe Rosenkratz. “The inclusion of our technology in this expansion is a testament to its beneficial influence on heightening border security and safety within nations.”

The ability to detect wanted persons and allow airport security to extract them with minimal disturbance to other travelers has proven the value of FaceFirst and need in the newest terminal at the Tocumen airport.
