OTTAWA, ON, Nov 07, 2006 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX News Network) --
BlueBear Networks International, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: BLBR) announced today that it has obtained the consent of its police customer base to implement its distributed database system, which is embedded in its child exploitation investigative product, LACE (Law Enforcement Against Child Exploitation). The distributed database system is a key component of BlueBear's patent pending, distributed search, and information sharing technology.
The LACE distributed database system gives participating police child exploitation units worldwide the ability to securely search and share each others media-evidence file data. Det. Const Phil Shrewsbury of York Regional Police's Electronic Crimes Section called the distributed database system "the best solution for this task." Jeff Nash, VP Sales and Marketing BlueBear, stated that, "There are billions of still images and video files located in police databases, on web sites, and on computer hard drives worldwide. The immense scale of the task presented a challenging storage, retrieval, and matching problem that required an ingenious solution, BlueBear's distributed database system."
LACE automates the process of reviewing and categorizing case media-evidence files (still images and videos) extracted from seized computer hard drives in child exploitation cases. By utilizing previously categorized cases, located in linked police child exploitation databases, locally, regionally, nationally, or worldwide, LACE dramatically reduces the number of case media-evidence files that require manual review.
