Next Generation Identification (Ngi)

A biometric repository managed and operated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Criminal Justice Information Services Division (CJIS) that enhances identification services by providing an incremental replacement of the former system, the Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System (IAFIS). Considered one of the largest biometric databases in the world, NGI stores individual fingerprint records and other biometric data for criminal and civil matters. Advanced identification technology provides rapid, efficient, and accurate fingerprint processing.
