The FBI Operates Two Computerized

Criminal History Information Systems




The FBI operates the National Crime Inform- -'J
ation Center's Computerized Criminal History
program, which was developed in response to
the perceived need for rapid dissemination of
criminal history information to Federal,
State, and local law enforcement agencies.
The FBI also operates its Automated Identifi-
cation Division System program, which was
developed to reduce costs and time required
by its manual system for making positive fin-
gerprint identifications and disseminating
criminal history information.


These programs record the same types of
crimes and disseminate the same kind of in-
formation. Duplicate records between these
two programs totaled 647,990 as of June
1979. This represents 44 percent of the Com-
puterized Criminal History program's records,
and 16 percent of the other program's re-
cords. As the two data bases increase, so also
will the number of duplicate records.
This report was e t    y the Chairman,

Subcommittee d   ove ient information
and Individual Rights, House Committee on
Government Operations.
