DETROIT, Nov. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Auburn Hills, MI-based Law Enforcement
Intelligent Devices, LLC (LEID) will be installing its locker system and
patent-pending Biometric Access Control System(TM) (BACS) at the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services' National Institutes of Health (NIH)
based in Bethesda, MD.  The locker system will support the NIH's entire police
force that is responsible for protecting our nation's medical research agency.
 The project is expected to be completed in February 2010.

BACS - developed by Patti Engineering (www.pattieng.com) - secures, tracks
(via RFID) and provides full accountability for critical assets.   The NIH
officer's equipment and/or weapons now will be marked with an RFID chip linked
to the kiosk. The user logs into the BACS application to access equipment by
placing their finger on the biometric reader for verification. Then the user
selects the authorized equipment and/or weapon listed on the touch screen
which is then retrieved from a secure locker.

Law enforcement departments throughout the country are utilizing the system to
allow for full accountability of their armory and a credible history report
that links officers to their assigned equipment.  

Law Enforcement Intelligent Devices (LEID), LLC was originally founded to
assist police departments in securing their assets (guns, weapons and radios)
through an electronic tracking and fingerprinting system.  LEID's products
since have been utilized to track many other type of business assets such as
radios at amusement parks; books, tapes and magazines within a library system;
and even the securing of business documents to selected personnel.  For more
