Types of PVC Card Printers

ID cards for law enforcement personnel are extremely important. They provide the public with the ability to identify police personnel and offer reassurance that those with ID cards are in fact police officers. For these reasons, it’s critical that the cards are counterfeit-proof. Security features such as holographic overlays and logos, fingerprints and signatures help in this area, and can be implemented with the appropriate photo ID system.

AlphaCard offers a number of complete ID card systems designed to handle the high-security needs of police department photo ID solutions. Most police ID cards feature a high quality photo of the officer along with identification information such as the officer’s name, job title and department along with a combination of security features.

Smart Police ID Cards

Advancements in ID card technology have become applicable to a number of police departments choosing to take their ID card systems a step further by issuing ID cards with proximity or smart card components. Proximity badges are a highly secure and convenient solution for access control to police facilities, while encoded smart chips can contain identification info and powerful authentication providing authorized officers with secure access to networks and police services and data.
