Biometric Identification Award Program

In response to interest from the law enforcement community, the FBI developed the Biometric Identification Award Program to recognize law enforcement for their diligent efforts in solving major cases through use of the NGI System. The Biometric Identification Award is presented annually and promoted throughout various law enforcement and forensic publications. The FBI also collaborates with those responsible for solving the case to reenact the identification, apprehension, and conviction of the suspect(s) through production of a Biometric Identification Award video. It is through the sharing of these cases that we are reminded each one solved is more than an identification or statistic - it is a voice for victims of violent crime.

If you or your agency solved a major case and obtained a conviction by searching the NGI System, please contact the Biometric Services Section via e-mail at biometrichit@leo.gov or call 304-625-5868.
