Identification Unit

The Identification Unit (ID) is responsible for the management of the 10-print portion of the Oklahoma Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS).  10-print refers to fingerprints collected from a person, whether for a background check for employment or licensing purposes or to verify their identity during an arrest. 

This unit performs a forensic analysis of fingerprint impressions through the electronic and manual processing of civilian/criminal fingerprint submissions. This process insures the integrity and accuracy of the fingerprint database for the State of Oklahoma.

Fingerprint Specialists analyze and perform complex examinations, classifications and identifications of manual and electronic submissions. They are also responsible for applying the rules and laws governing this process. In addition to these functions, the ID Unit is also responsible for providing fingerprinting services to civilians that meet eligibility requirements.
