The Biometrics and Identification Division (BID) was formed in 2011 for its strong emphasis on the sciences and technologies critical to public safety. Michigan was the first state agency to establish a dedicated biometrics division. In the last decade, the division has progressed to include the specialty areas of polygraph, forensic audio/video analysis, ten-print and palmprint identification, facial identification, forensic art, and DNA. The consolidation of these critical disciplines into a single division has allowed for advancement in these areas and expedited the growth of biometrics within Michigan, transforming the MSP into a national model for best practices. The mission of the division is to securely and ethically identify individuals using innovative science and technology to increase public and officer safety and help bring justice to victims.
CODIS is a database of DNA profiles collected from crime scene evidence, convicted offenders, felony arrestees, missing persons, and unidentified human remains.
