DoD Interoperability Efforts
•
Connectivity between the DoD’s Automated Biometric Identification
System (ABIS) and the IAFIS was implemented in October 2005
•
The CJIS Division continues to work with DoD to support the electronic
transmission of militarily acquired identification records on Known or
Suspected Terrorists (KST) and persons of national security interest,
from ABIS to the IAFIS
•
New KST identification records continue to be electronically updated
and retained in the IAFIS on a daily basis
•
Corresponding KST Contextual data is being shared with the National
Counterterrorism Center
•
The DHS USVISIT Program is provided with daily updates to KST data
for incorporation into border screening processes
•
Since implementation, CJIS has processed more than 175,000 IAFIS
fingerprint check requests in support of military operations, resulting in
647 positive identifications to existing criminal history and KST records

 Bioterrorism Risk Assessment Group (BRAG)
 Analysis Group
CJIS excels at providing accurate Criminal Justice Information to our
users in a timely manner, based upon name checks and fingerprint
submissions.
CJIS responds to individual queries within the CJIS systems, but has
not made connections across these systems.
Mission is to collect information from across CJIS systems to provide
Tactical Intelligence to the Law Enforcement and Homeland Security
Communities.
CDIG adds value to user requests by bringing experts from various
CJIS systems together in one place.
Existing CJIS resources were re-organized to form CDIG, no
enhancements or reprogramming was required.
