  1. West Point Leadership ProgramFinal Exam Team Ever Vigilant Class 3-2002

  2. The New Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS) • Jerry Pena • Asst. Identification Section Manager • Austin Police Department

  3. Areas of Interest • The Austin Police Department currently relies on the State AFIS system to conduct searches of latent fingerprints. • The State AFIS only searches the fingerprints of subjects arrested for class “B” misdemeanors and above.

  4. Areas of Interest (cont) • AFIS does not have the ability to search palm prints, which make up approximately 30-40% of all latent prints received. • Approximately 90% of all latent prints identified in AFIS are from local arrests.

  5. Areas of Interest (cont) • 80% of the Department’s arrest are for class “C” misdemeanor offenses. • These offenses are not reported to the state therefore their prints are not entered into the states fingerprint data base. • As a result manual searches are relied upon to complete these comparisons.

  6. Areas of Interest(cont) • Manual searches are very time consuming to the Examiner. • In order for a manual search to be conducted a suspect must first be developed. • A comparison request must be submitted with the suspects information.

  7. Areas of Interest (cont) • The New AFIS will interface with the existing live-scan system located at the Travis County Justice facility. • Finger and palm prints of all arrested subjects will automatically merge with the AFIS database. • Juvenile and employee fingerprints will be directly entered into the AFIS database

  8. Analysis • Equity • Expectancy Theory • Motivation through Job Redesign Theory • Socialization Theory • Overcoming Resistance Theory

  9. Leadership Action Plan • Meet with Detective Details to get their buy in. • Meet with City Purchasing to finalize the purchasing of the system. • Identify space issues within the ID Section for the new system.

  10. Leadership Action Plan (cont) • Set up a committee of individuals from the effected units to look at the scope of the project to ensure that it meets the needs of customers.

  11. Leadership Action Plan (cont) • Set up LPU Procedures • Set up feedback to the Investigative units on identifications made by the system.

  12. Evaluation • Monitor monthly reports to ensure that the process is being used effectively and that identifications are being made as a result of this system.
