Biometrics—the use of DNA, unique
personal characteristics and other per-
sonal data to verify one’s identity—has
become an important weapon used by
federal agencies, local law enforcement
and technology companies in the battle
to both maintain public safety and pro-
tect an individual’s personal information.
West Virginia has proven to be a strong
ally in this fight thanks to the research
conducted and services offered by bio-
metrics companies in the Mountain State.
West Virginia is rich with companies
and experts who are playing a major
role in supporting the U.S. Department
of Defense (DoD), U.S. Department of
Homeland Security, law enforcement
and many others in gaining ground on
this battlefield.
With this map, we are proud to rec-
ognize the 29 companies located in West
Virginia that either work directly in the
biometrics field or offer support services
for those that do. Here, we showcase
some of the state’s best and brightest that
are using their knowledge and talents to
help not only other West Virginians but
their neighbors across the country and
around the world.
