The FBI’s Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) division announced its biometric identification system, Next Generation Identification (NGI), is now in full operational capability phase.
The agency announced last month that it had digitally converted 30 million records and 83 million fingerprint cards stored at the CJIS division warehouse in Fairmont, West Virginia in preparation for the transition to the new biometric system.
The NGI is estimated to process 55,000 photos a day and is currently on track to digitize 52 million facial images by 2015. This completes another phase of the FBI’s NGI project, expanding on its biometric identification offerings and adding new services, including Rap Back and the Interstate Photo System.
