2. Introduction Bureau of Identification History The Bureau of Identification was created after the events that became known as the Saint Valentine’s Day Massacre on February 14, 1929. The Chicago Police Department identified six of the victims, through fingerprints, as members of the O’Baniongang. Supporters of a reform movement used the role fingerprints played in solving this crime to push for a state level identification bureau.
