Description[edit | ]
The implementation of FR in Latvia begun in 2009, when the Biometric Data Processing System (BDAS) Law was adopted and then, FR became fully operational in 2012. BDAS is used as a central biometric repository to store facial and fingerprint data collected by state institutions during different civil and criminal proceedings. Biometric data related to crime investigation is stored in a logically separated sub-database of BDAS referred to as the criminal data array. The BDAS criminal data array contains information obtained from detained, suspected, accused and convicted people and also from unidentified dead bodies. As of January 2020, there were more than 270 000 cases registered in the BDAS criminal data array and approximately 78 000 of these included facial images.
Only information in the criminal data array is used for FR searches during crime investigations, while all other sub-databases are unavailable because of both technical and legal restrictions. It is permissible for FR searches to be conducted by a wide range of police officers, when needed, during criminal investigations. The results of the search can only be used as an intelligence lead. 1
1.2. Organisations involved The Information Centre of the Ministry of Interior is the owner and custodian of BDAS. The State Police of the Ministry of Interior is the user of information in BDAS both in terms of entering the data and performing FR searches. 1References

Sub-systems[edit | ]
Biometric Data Processing System involves the following sub-systems:
- Criminal data array;
- Civil data array;
- Asylum and migration data array (so called Eurodac array);
- AFIS1.
All the data arrays are logically separated from each other. The software for the database management is from the RIX Technologies.
Only the criminal data array is described in more detail in this section as it is the only subdatabase in BDAS used for FR during criminal investigations. The civil data and Eurodac arrays of BDAS will be addressed in Section 3.
The BDAS criminal data array is comprised of information acquired during investigative activities from detained, suspected, accused and convicted people and from unidentified dead bodies. As of January 2020, there were more than 270 000 cases registered in the BDAS criminal data array and approximately 78 000 of these contained facial images.
Alongside the digital photographs of the face and fingerprints, the following non-biometric
information is stored in the criminal array of BDAS for controlled images: • Full name;
- Date of birth;
- Personal identity number (if such has been attributed);
- Nationality and its type (citizen, non-citizen, resident);
- Gender;
- Legal qualification of a criminal offence; • Criminal case number; • Justification for obtaining biometric data; • Institution that acquired the biometric data; • Date the biometric data was obtained.
