FBI Expands Capacity on Fingerprint Records Management
The FBI is investing in increasing the capacity of its Criminal Justice Information Services division to manage growing demand for biometric services. The agency's facility near Clarksburg West Virginia acts as a background check resource for private, education, and law enforcement entities. The number of laws mandating background checks for teachers, bank employees, and other workers has increased demand for fingerprint checks. The agency is also working to incorporate the Department of Homeland Security's Automated Biometric Identification System of records into its fingerprint database.
