AUTOMATEDFINGERPRINT IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM(AFIS)RONALDO I FULOPolice Superintendent Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS)WHAT IS AUTOMATED IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM (AFIS)It is the process of automatically matching one or many unknownfingerprintsagainst adatabase of known and unknown prints.

Automated Fingerprint Identification Systems are primarily used by law enforcement agencies for criminal identification initiatives, the most important of which include identifying a person suspected of committing acrimeor linking a suspect to other unsolved crimes.

A comprehensive review on the AFIS project was held in Tokyo, Japan on July 29 to August 2, 2009.

Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS)HISTORY OF THE AFIS PROJECT

The AFIS started on April 1998 under the Japanese Governments General Grand Aid Program (GGAP).JICA sent basic study teams 1 and 2 in September 2001 and August 2002.A consulting agreement was signed between the Philippine National Police (PNP) and the Security Electronics and Communications Association (SECTA) on July 21, 2003.The PNP and MARUBENI Corporation signed an agreement on October 10, 2003. AFIS project- 975,000,000.00 (GGAP Grant Aid). December 2003- started the installation of the AFIS and was completed on July 2004. August 2004 became fully operational.PNP Crime Laboratory Group - maintains the AFIS Project.May 24, 2005 -AFIS was formally turned-over by the Japanese Ambassador to the PNP. Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS)FUNCTIONS OF THE AFIS PROJECT

Serves as the key to fast track the comparison of fingerprints with the collected Latent Prints from crime scenes.Captures fingerprint images and textual information to form a database of suspects and speedy resolution of crimes.

Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS)DIFFERENCT ACTIVITIES CONDUCTED IN RELATION TO THE AFIS PROJECT:Audit on the Japanese Official Development Assistance (ODA) Projects Conducted on June 3, 2011 hosted by the PNP, CL;Conducted by the Board of Audit of Japan which aimed to study the cooperation of the JICA and the Government of the Philippines on the effective and efficient implementation of various Official Development Assistance (ODA) Projects;PNP, CL in coordination with JICA Experts and DIDM drafted an LOI (In Country Training Program on Trainers Training on Scientific Method of Processing Fingerprints) which aims to develop and strengthen the capability of police investigators on scientific method of processing fingerprints by enhancing the training capability of fingerprint examiners thereby contributing to the utilization of the AFIS. This is the implemention of a 5-year In-Country Training Program (ICTP) to provide basic training to police investigators on scientific method of processing fingerprints from CY 2006 to March 2011. JICA also supported the PNP in implementing a Technical Cooperation Project (TCP) on Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS-Phase 2) until 2013 and dispatches Japanese Experts to the PNP from time to time based on PNPs requests.Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS)DIFFERENCT ACTIVITIES CONDUCTED IN RELATION TO THE AFIS PROJECT:

Training/Seminar on Fingerprint Collection

JICA in cooperation with PNP-CL and DIDM conducted training/seminar on fingerprint collection on June 13-14, 2011 at the PNPTS, Camp Crame, Quezon City participated in by 86 Investigators from the National Capital Regional Police Office;JICA donated the following Investigative items to DIDM which were subsequently issued to the different districts of NCRPO to wit:160 ink pad or police mate;76 card holder;1, 000 pcs correction paper;100 pcs manual cd-r; and100 pcs clear card holder.Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS)DIFFERENCT ACTIVITIES CONDUCTED IN RELATION TO THE AFIS PROJECT:Courtesy Call of Mr Hiroyuki Yakushi of JICA to TADIDM

Courtesy Call of the Deputy Director, Public Governance and Financial Management, Division, Governance Group, Industrial Development and Policy Department, JICA on November 18, 2011 from 1:30 pm to 2:00 pm.Conference on the Updates of the AFIS II ProjectHeld on October 28, 2011 at 9:00 am at the DIDM Conference Room, Rooftop, NHQ Building and attended by JICA experts to include CSUPT TAKAHIKO IIRI, Advisor to the C, PNP; Mr Ryuzo Tsurushiro, 1st Secretary, Embassy of Japan; Mr Shinichi Masuda, Senior Representative of JICA Philippines; CINSP Masahiro Ohkawa and CINSP Shinji Kobayashi. attendees from the PNP were: PCSUPT LORLIE ARROYO, D, CL; PSSUPT CHRIS LAXA, DDO, CIDG; PSSUPT ROLANDO FELIX, C, LED, DO; PSSUPT CAMILO PANCRATIUS P CASCOLAN, C, CMD, DIDM; PSSUPT EMMANUEL L ARANAS, CDS, CL; PSUPT ROWENA P GARADO, C, FPID, CL; PSUPT ANECITO G ACABO, Representative from RIDMD, NCRPO AND PSUPT DULNOAN D DINAMLING JR, Assistant Chief, RAD, DIDM. Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS)DIFFERENCT ACTIVITIES CONDUCTED IN RELATION TO THE AFIS PROJECT:

The following are the highlights of the meeting:CSUPT IIRI, discussed what is JICA, its contributions to the PNP including other projects included in the PNP Anti-Crime Enhancement Program like the Firearms Control Project and AFIS II Project.Further, he discussed the donation of the AFIS in 2003 and became fully operational in 2004 which is worth more or less 500 millions and until today, the function is not maximized because of the low output on the number of collected tenprints of the arrested suspected criminals. He further suggested that the scheme applied should be self-procurement of fingerprint kits to guarantee constant budget allocation to the fields as per requirement.Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS)DIFFERENCT ACTIVITIES CONDUCTED IN RELATION TO THE AFIS PROJECT:The DIDM in coordination with the JICA experts is drafting the LOI re In-Country Training Program (ICTP) on trainers training for scientific method of processing fingerprints to enhance the capability of the Philippine National Police-Crime Laboratory personnel as trainers of Fingerprint Examiners assigned in NHQ/Regional/District Crime Laboratory Offices. The objective is to develop a core of trainers and to train field investigators on the proper taking of fingerprints and collection of latent prints. In three (3) years, the Cl should have already trained 600 police investigators on the proper procedure on the taking of fingerprints of arrested suspects.CINSP MASAHIRO OHKAWA, JICA expert discussed on the collection of latent prints. The following are the proper procedures to be observed:Specify areas where to lift latenprints in the crime scene;Lift latenprints properly; and Select the possible suspects prints from the Prints lifted in the crime scene.Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS)TWO-DAY WORKSHOP ON THE AFIS 2 PROJECT IN TAGAYTAY, CAVITE:

Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS)FIVE (5) DAY TRAINING ON SCIENTIFIC METHOD OF PROCESSING FINGERPRINTS FOR POLICE INVESTIGATORS (SMPFPI) FROM APRIL 23-27, 2012.Forty Six (46) field investigators from the NCRPO were trained on the efficient collection of latent prints from small/simple property crime scenes and their expeditious submission for processing at the AFIS maintained by the PNP CL in order to attain a successful scientific investigation. This was conducted by the PNP CL and sponsored by the JICA from April 23-27, 2012 at the Amphitheater, 3rd floor, CLE Building, PNPTS, Camp Crame, Quezon City. The participants were given fingerprint kits to be used in the field.REASONS FOR THE IMMEDIATE REPLACEMENT OF THE AFIS:The production of the vital spare parts for the current AFIS maintained by the Crime Laboratory ended in 2010;The current AFIS will be operational until July 2013 (tentative); JICA cannot donate new AFIS machine; andThe database on the latent prints and tenprints will be utilized in attaining higher crime solution efficiency.Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS)LIST OF THE THREE (3) SUPPLIERS WHO ALREADY CONDUCTED PRODUCT PRESENTATION TO THE PNP INCLUDING THE CAPACITY, WARRANTY AND INITIAL PRICE:Nippon Electric Corporation (NEC)-supplier of the current AFISDatabase capacity- 3 million upWarranty- 5 yearsInitial Price- Php 402, 829, 816.58 million (VAT excluded) 3 M CogentDatabase Capacity- 3 million upWarranty- 5 yearsInitial Price- Php 301, 184, 900 million (VAT excluded) Horiba ScientificDatabase Capacity- 3 million upWarranty- 5 yearsInitial Price- Php 138, 368, 754 million (VAT excluded)
