What is Real Time Identification (RTID)?
RTID is a National Police Services (NPS) Project under the stewardship of the RCMP designed to improve the efficiency of Canada’s national fingerprint and criminal record repository. It will replace outdated paper processes and legacy systems with re-engineered workflows and automation. RTID will use modern technology to meet business demands and support interoperability with all clients. Fingerprint identification and criminal record services are provided by Canadian Criminal Real Time Identification Services (CCRTIS) of National Police Services (NPS) to the Canadian law enforcement, criminal justice and public security communities, as well as, international partners, such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Interpol.
