First Claim
1. A method of rapidly collecting identification data in the field and processing said identification data at a designated processing station, the method comprising the following steps in the order named:
- (a) collecting video data of a scene;
(b) collecting biometric information and identification data of subjects, wherein said collecting biometric information and identification data comprises recording biometric information of subject on a biometric collection card with unique identifier or collecting DNA samples to be placed in a DNA container with unique identifier, photographing said subject holding said biometric collection card or DNA container with unique identifier, and video taping said subject stating personal information and other information a User that carries out the method deems important;
(c) placing said biometric collection card or DNA container with unique identifier in a container for each subject;
(d) placing all subject containers and the digital camera'"'"'s memory card in a large evidence container;
(e) transporting said evidence container from the field to a designated computer processing station;
(f) viewing general video data of the scene and of the subjects at said computer processing station;
(g) using a biometric scanning device as a means for reading the biometric collection cards;
(h) using the computer software as means for matching the biometric collection card for each subject with his or her identification data from said digital camera'"'"'s memory card using the unique identifier;
(i) creating a subject file concretely linking subject'"'"'s biometric information, image of subject'"'"'s face, and subject'"'"'s biographical and personal information, wherein said file is formatted for exporting, further processing or storage; and
(j) formatting said subject file to comply with prescribed formats comprising Electronic File Transfer Systems (EFTS), internationally accepted, and law enforcement formats.

Abstract
A group of components in a container that forms a kit that is compact for fitting in a pocket and has means for rapidly collecting and recording identification information of personnel in the field and processing collected information at a computer processing station. The kit provides a means for linking collected and recorded biometric data of individuals through the use of a photographic image and a unique identifier. Complete biometric data, photographic data, and biographical information are processed into internationally accepted and law enforcement standards for later use. A method that allows personnel to rapidly collect, record, and link types of identification information and later process collected in a secure location.
