FaceTec Partners with Police & Sheriffs Press for Secure ID Cards

SUMMERLIN, Nev., Oct. 21, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- FaceTec, Inc., the developer of UR Codes, has announced a partnership with Police & Sheriffs Press, Inc. (PASP365), a leading secure-identification card supplier based in Vidalia, Georgia. This collaboration aims to enhance the security of photo IDs in over 6,000 police and sheriffs' departments across the United States.

PASP365, established in 1999, provides secure ID cards and related services to law enforcement and government agencies. The company's HOLOVIEW® cards, which incorporate holograms, microtext, and ultraviolet security features, are designed to deter counterfeiting and ensure the authenticity of issued credentials. These cards are currently serving more than 6,000 local, state, and federal agencies worldwide.

UR Codes, a part of FaceTec's leading 3D biometric Liveness and 3D Face Verification software, are embedded within a standard QR barcode format. Unlike traditional passwords or physical ID cards, a UR Code cryptographically binds an individual's verified identity attributes directly to their 3D biometric face vector data. This ensures that the identity information is secure and cannot be easily replicated or stolen.

The partnership between FaceTec and PASP365 is expected to secure the identity documents of police officers, sheriff's deputies, and first responders.

UR Codes will be integrated into PASP365's secure card products and are already in production for law enforcement precincts. The company expects the new IDs to be utilized by over 6,000 law enforcement agencies within 24 months. The UR Code use cases include:

- Albany County Sheriff's Office (Active-Duty Sheriff Deputies): Upgrades standard Deputy ID cards to allow instant, cross-jurisdictional verification by partner agencies or citizens, ensuring lost or stolen IDs cannot be used by unauthorized holders and that fake IDs cannot be created to impersonate deputies. - Saratoga County Sheriff's Office (Retirees & LEOSA/HR218): Enables nationwide verification for retired officers carrying concealed firearms under the Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act, allowing out-of-state officers to biometrically confirm the holder's active HR218 qualification status. - Project Lifesaver International: Operating in over 2,400 jurisdictions in the US and Canada, UR Code labels are being added to locator bracelets, clothing, and footwear worn by individuals with cognitive conditions such as autism or dementia. Anyone in the community can now scan the UR Code and perform a live biometric match to identify at-risk individuals and access the designated first responders who will reunite them with their caretakers.
