RockWest Technology, a
business unit of Identive Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: INVE, FSE:INV), today 
announced the successful implementation of a fully integrated 
credentialing and identity management system for the City of Colorado
Springs, the El Paso County Department of Health and Environment and 
the El Paso County Sheriff´s Office.  Centralized credentialing and 
asset tracking provides first responder accountability and critical 
information for emergency management for this eastern Colorado county
of more than 600,000 residents and encompasses approximately 2,158 
square miles.
"In times of emergency, being able to identify first responders at 
the scene and quickly assess and deploy resources is critical to 
saving lives and protecting property," stated Jesse Ortiz, emergency 
manager for Colorado Springs.  "The unique synergy RockWest created 
between our credential management system and our personnel 
accountability and asset tracking systems has provided us with 
centralized command tools that enable us to react more rapidly and 
effectively. RockWest has helped us to develop a model solution that 
can be adopted by other counties across the country."
The City of Colorado Springs, the El Paso County Department of Health
and Environment and the El Paso County Sheriff´s Office are all using
the new web-based solution to supply card-based ID systems for over 
20 county agencies including fire, police, health, sheriff and 
emergency management.  Each agency independently manages its own 
identity vetting and issuance of first responder and employee 
credentials, and the credentials issued by all agencies are 
interoperable, via the printed barcode, with the accountability and 
asset management systems that will be launched in 2011. In the 
future, during an incident, city and county agencies will be able to 
scan ID credentials and emergency equipment data into the Emergency 
Incident Management Command system as part of the county´s overall 
accountability initiative.  This will allow the tracking of all 
county personnel and resources throughout an incident in accordance 
with the standards set by the National Incident Management System 
(NIMS).
"As one of the largest integrators of photo-Identification, 
credential issuance and electronic security systems in the 
southwestern U.S., RockWest has extensive experience implementing 
emergency management solutions," said George Levy, president of 
RockWest.  "In addition to implementing the system to credentialize 
and authenticate personnel, El Paso County Department of Health & 
Environment will be implementing an asset tracking solution for 
inventory management of equipment assigned to specific personnel and 
for managing Strategic National Stockpile materiel, such as 
medications, for use in case of a pandemic event such as H1N1."
