  1. Input Criminal Law (Forensic Procedures) Amendment Bill (B2-2009) 3 NOVEMBER 2009 Caring, compassionate and responsive

  2. HANIS - Background and Objectives • Department of Home Affairs captures and stores fingerprints of all citizens and documented foreigners • Originally stored in manual database, which became large and impractical (approx. 45M records) – DHA decided to automate the processes • HANIS was commissioned in Feb 2002 • All processing performed in terms of manual database was transferred to HANIS. Caring, compassionate and responsive

  3. HANIS - Background and Objectives • A Back Record Conversion project was initiated (May 2005) to convert the manual records to digital records and store them in HANIS • Disaster Recovery System added in May 2005 • To date approximately 33 million sets of Fingerprints have been registered in HANIS and 12 million photographs Caring, compassionate and responsive

  4. HANIS – Current Architecture Caring, compassionate and responsive

  5. AFIS Design • The current Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS) was designed as a Civilian System • Due to this fact not all the fingerprints are stored within the AFIS. Only those that are used for matching are stored (Thumbs) • No children’s Fingerprints are stored • Separate databases exist for documented foreigners • High Availability (DRS Facilities) Caring, compassionate and responsive

  6. AFIS Possibilities of Integration with SAPS • Potential definitely exists for the amendment of the HANIS AFIS to allow for the integration with SAPS, and also for the searching of crime scene latent fingerprints against the whole of the DHA database • This will allow for 1:N searching of SAPS data against the DHA data (whether 10 print data, or Latent data) • 1:1 Verification could also be done through the SAPS network to the DHA system if an ID number is available • Manual verification (retrieval of FP and Photo) if ID number is available is also possible Caring, compassionate and responsive

  7. Implication of Changes • Cost • Volume Implications (sharing of resources) • Turn-around times for processing • Extended Support and Maintenance for HANIS Caring, compassionate and responsive

  8. HANIS Future Possibilities • Facial Recognition – watch lists at Ports of Entry, strategic events, etc • Children’s Fingerprints • 1:1 Verification from remote stations, i.e. roadblocks, specific SAPS initiatives, Courts Caring, compassionate and responsive

  9. THANK YOU Caring, compassionate and responsive
