LInX Meets Federal
NIJ Standards
U.S. DOJ GJXDM / DHS NIEM compliant & open architecture
 Federal & State FOIA, Privacy Act & disclosure requirements‐compliant
 DOD DIACAP certification standards & security accreditation achieves data and transmission security
Slide 22
NCR‐LInX Success Stories
“NCR‐LInX was instrumental in the identification, capture, and arrest of the so‐called “East Coast Rapist.” Through ongoing efforts, a short list of suspects was generated from NCR‐LInX.

A detailed tip generated by a public pg
y p
outreach campaign led to the identification of the suspect and to his arrest.
Slide 23
Connection Between NCR‐LInX
and NCR‐Biometrics
 Pilot Project with Motorola DataStrip Devices
 Officer uses biometric enabled handheld
device to capture print and submits search
to regional AFIS
to regional AFIS
 If a hit is generated, authorized NCR‐LInX
users can initiate LInX Mobile session
(browser‐based) on handheld device.
 LInX Mobile application parses hit return

from AFIS, and performs a name search against
the NCR‐LInX system
 Led to Development of LInX Handheld Solution
 Differences between MorphoIDent/Cogent and Datastrip
Interfaces to NCR‐LInX
 NIST‐compliant transaction files used to transfer NIST

devices used custom/one‐off format.

Slide 29
 Officer uses MorphoIDent / Cogent device to capture print
 Bluetooth connection from device to MDT
 If a ‘hit’ is found on the Regional AFIS system, NIST file returned to MDT from regional AFIS system with person
returned to MDT from regional AFIS system with person demographic information
 Officer uses MDT to review a list of ‘hits’, and can select a name by clicking on it to initiate a query of the NCR‐LInX b li ki

system

 If NCR‐LInX session exists, search will be automatically executed and results returned to user.
 If no NCR‐LInX session exists, user will be prompted for login prior to executing query
login prior to executing query.
 Officer can navigate from hit list to NCR‐LInX application using MDT
Benefits of the Connection
Officer Safety and Situational Awareness
 Results
Results from LInX are displayed showing subject’s law from LInX are displayed showing subject’s law
enforcement activity in the region
Ability to return results from all LInX systems y

and Partner systems
NIST files (standards) returned to mobile are used to initiate query to NCR‐LInX system
Can be replicated in other LInX regions i l
