Description[ ]

In 2012, Antigua and Barbuda were provided with an Automatic Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS) to identify criminal activity. It is also a system that was deployed with interoperability with a similar system in St Kitts' and Nevis in mind, and regional cooperation with other Caribbean islands in crime prevention as a goal. 2

“Towards the end of September both Antigua & Barbuda and St. Kitts and Nevis will benefit from an upgraded, modernised AFIS system,” Cort disclosed in an interview with the Antigua Observer. “This system will be introduced both into Antigua & Barbuda and St. Kitts as a prototype and we will be able to link both the systems”. The Automated Fingerprint Identification System functions by matching the fingerprints acquired at a crime scene with those stored in the system’s database. Antigua’s Minister of National Security added that the fund was provided by the U.S. Clinical Documentation Improvement (CDI) programme 1
