Florida law currently requires anyone hold- ing a secondhand dealer’s license to record serial numbers of pawned items, who pawned it and a fingerprint. Before acquiring the BMI system, the Sheriff’s Office had to send a deputy to each business to retrieve the logs, then pay clerical staff to enter the information into a database before the information was available to detec- tives working burglary and stolen-property cases. With the new system, businesses enter the information directly into an online database, giving local law enforcement and other partici- pating agencies instant access to search for stolen items. This will help speed up investigations and result in more cases being solved, police said. For an $8,000 annual investment, that may prove to be one of the best bargains around.
