FBI's Next Generation Identification (NGI)

The FBI's Next Generation Identification (NGI) is a large, advanced system that helps law enforcement identify and verify individuals using biometric data such as fingerprints, facial images, and iris scans. It also includes new features like facial recognition and a broader database to improve accuracy and speed in investigations. NGI replaces older systems with more sophisticated technology, enabling agencies to quickly match biometric data against millions of records, thus enhancing public safety and crime-solving capabilities while maintaining data security and privacy protocols.
