    FINGERPRINT
    IDENTIFICATION
    SYSTEM(AFIS)
    The Automated Fingerprint Identification
    System is a biometric identification
    methodology that uses digital imaging
    technology to obtain, store, and analyze
    fingerprint data.

    AFIS stands for Automated Fingerprint


    Identification System.
    WHEN WAS AFIS CREATED?
    Created in 1999.
    Now upgraded to the
    Next Generation
    Identification (NGI), is
    the world's most
    extensive criminal history
    collection.
    WHERE IS AFIS USED?
    AFIS are primarily used
    by law enforcement
    agencies for criminal
    identification purpose.
    The most important of
    which is the identification
    of a person suspected of
    committing a crime or
    linking a suspect to other
    unsolved crimes.
    FINGERPRINT AS EVIDENCE:
    Criminal identification systems initially emerged in the late 19th century.
    They were triggered by the landmark development of the Henry System of
    fingerprint classification, in which fingerprints are sorted by physiological
    characteristics and anthropometrics, also known as the Bertillon system, in which
    measurements are obtained from suspects and filed.
    In the U.K., the Metropolitan Police started using biometrics for identification in
    1901.
    In the U.S., it was initiated by the New York police in 1902, with French
    police beginning the same process in late 1902.
    By the 1920s, the FBI had created its first Identification Department, establishing
    a central repository of criminal identification data for U.S. law enforcement
    agencies.
    All needed to be classified manually by an ever-growing team of staff.
    Similarly, laborious manual searches had to be undertaken every time a potential
    match was found.
    The AFIS itself can trace its roots back to the electronics revolution of the 1960s.
    HOW DOES AFIS
    WORK?
     The system encodes the fingerprints that are being searched and
    finds fingerprints in the system that most closely resembles the
    fingerprint being searched.
     A qualified examiner compares the fingerprints reported by the AFIS
    and determines if identity of the inked or latent fingerprint can be
    established.
    HOW RELIABLE IS AFIS IN
    FINGERPRINT EVIDENCE?
     While most examiners no
    longer claim the "100%
    accuracy" of a fingerprint
    analysis.
     Nowdays, used in court
    testimony and reports
    continue to state that
    examiners can "identify"
    or are "practically certain
    of" the source of a latent
    print.
    HOW FAST IS AFIS?
    Today's AFIS can often
    return a search of a
    million records in
    under a minute.
    As databases have
    expanded across the
    world, some AFIS
    engineers have
    expanded to searching
    four fingers or more in
    an effort to increase
    accuracy.
    How long does it take AFIS to find
    a match?
    Once the photographed print is
    entered into the system, the process
    takes just a few minutes. "It can take
    as little as 15 to 20 seconds or it take
    15 to 20 minutes.
