Government Works has received a contract to train and implement brain fingerprinting technology for Singapore Police Force (SPF).

Under contract, Government Works’ team of subject matter experts as well as technical trainers will carry out training sessions to train investigators and examiners.

Following training, investigators and examiners will be certified to conduct tests using the technology.

Government Works president and CEO Krishna Ika said the Singapore Police Force will utilise the new technology mainly in areas pertaining to counter terrorism.

"Government Works is honored to provide this revolutionary technology to Singapore Police Force -an organization exemplary in itself with one of the lowest crime rates in the world and among the first few to adopt this technology," Ika added.

The brain fingerprinting technology will enable Singapore Police Force to perform core function of protection of people from crime and all manner of criminal harm such as terrorism and public disorder.

In addition to detecting information that is unique to bomb makers, the Brain Fingerprinting can identify inside knowledge or training associated with particular organisations.

"In my view, applying the best technology we have, including Brain Fingerprinting in cases involving suspected terrorists, is the only path forward that is scientifically sound, morally viable, and protective of the public interest," Ika added.

The system is expected to go live in December 2013.
