TFP Inc. manufactures and supplies computerized mug shot systems for law enforcement, jail, and correctional agencies in the United States, Germany, Italy, and New Zealand. The company’s mug shot capture/display systems are used for personal identification, as well as for creating digital line-ups for viewing by crime scene witnesses. Its PC-based applications also include jail management, jail property management, and document management. The company was founded in 1988 and is based in Greenville, South Carolina. As of May 7, 1997, TFP Inc. operates as a subsidiary of Printrak International Inc.I had the privilege of working with Brad Bylenga (VP of TFP at this time) in some past jobs, and he arranged an interview with their president. After failing the psychological profiling testing, I was nervous, he hired me to work Helpdesk for the Mugshot Photo Systems. A lot of fun talking to poilice officers and booking sargents at 3 in the morning. Eventually I was moved into Project Manager for a new product Jail Management System (JMS). Getting to travel all over the country to install and train and provide technical sales for the JMS systems was a blast. Worked with a great team of motivated support people and developers which encouraged me to want to learn more about programming.
