FBI center takes on $1 billion ID project

FBI center takes on $1 billion ID project - Business - The Charleston Gazette - West Virginia News and Sports -: "HARLESTON, W.Va. -- The Clarksburg FBI complex is taking part in a $1 billion project that will enable law enforcement agencies to identify criminals and terrorists by physical characteristics more quickly and accurately, an FBI official said Monday in Charleston.

Earlier this month, the FBI center unveiled its 'Next Generation Identification System,' which will slowly replace an older system that can no longer handle the volume of fingerprints sent to Clarksburg.

'It's bigger, better, faster,' said Stephen Morris, a deputy assistant director at the FBI Center. 'It increases capacity and accuracy.'"
