1) Introduction
I plan to work in a lab that will be using biometric operations to solve the identity of a specific individual. The Next Generation Identification System (which will further be referred to as NGI) allows for those of us needing to identify suspects on a national based system and allow for improved accuracy compared to the original Integrated Automatic Identification System (which will further be referred to as IAFIS). This change happened “…on September 7, 2014, when the FBI’s Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) Division officially decommissioned the 15-year-old Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System (IAFIS) and, in turn, deployed the Next Generation Identification (NGI) system” (Adams 171). As this …show more content…
With the new system, “NGI has now taken fingerprints to the leading edge of human identification, as new resources are being placed in the hands of law enforcement officers so that they may more efficiently serve their communities” (Adams 175). These identifications based on fingerprints have become a major part of identification because of the advances on accuracy of the new system. Two specific systems used inside of NGI are Advanced Fingerprint Identification Technology (AFIT) and the Latent and National Palmprint system which will be discussed based on what it does, why it is used, and the accuracy of the system. These points will lead to a better understanding of why NGI is a better system than …show more content…
This system uses palmprints to identify individuals when there are not traces of fingerprints or other biometric identifications available. The ridges and grooves of the palms are placed into a computer that stores the images of the prints so that they can be used in later cases. Although fingerprinting is the most basic way to use biometric data to identify people palmprints are coming into use as of recent times because of traces left as evidence. While fingerprints are smaller and easier to trace due to the ridge patterns, palmprints are needed more because evidence at crime scenes have more palmprints left than accurate fingerprints. Due to this growing of palmprint identification the Next Generation Identification System has added it to be a subtopic inside of it (Jain, Nandakumar, and Ross 4). The new use of palmprints in the NGI system has allowed for numerous identifications of suspects that would not originally have been found. The physical structure of “The palms of the human hands contain pattern of ridges and valleys much like the fingerprints. The area of the palm is much larger than the area of a finger and, as a result, palmprints are expected to be even more distinctive than fingerprints [38]” (Jain, Ross, and Flynn 17). By having a larger area to work with the palm is able to be examined in greater
