The Department of Justice’s Office of the Inspector General (DOJ-OIG) just released a partially redacted report on the FBI’s Security Check Procedures for Immigration Applications and Petitions. The Executive Summary states:
Through its National Name Check Program (NNCP) and Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System (IAFIS), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) provides federal agencies, state and local law enforcement agencies, and approved non-governmental institutions criminal history and identification services from its repositories of investigative records.
So who exactly are “approved non-governmental institutions”? Interestingly the FBI claims that the IAFIS maintains the largest biometric database in the world. While searching for more information on the IAFIS I found a power point presentation from some other government regarding the program.
