Description[edit | ]

As of February 2020, FR has not been implemented in the Czech Republic in relation to criminal investigations. However, preparations for its implementation are underway. This is the responsibility of the Police of Czech Republic — the Police Presidium and the Institute of Criminalistics.

In 2019, the Law on Police of Czech Republic (Act No. 273/2008 Sb.) was changed, authorizing the Police of Czech Republic to use FR technology and allowing images from the Population register of natural persons to be used for FR searches, e.g. for the solving of crimes, the identification of persons and the identification of dead bodies.

At the present time, a new multimodal biometric system for fingerprints and facial images is being developed with a procurement process underway to acquire the necessary software for the inclusion of FR search functionality. The system being developed is known as the Central Biometric Information System (CBIS) and it is expected to become fully operational in 2021.

CBIS will be populated with images from the Registry of suspected, accused and/or convicted persons (FODAGEN) and i t will be linked with the Population register of natural persons (Population register). Images in the Population register will be accessible via CBIS in accord with the change in the law, permitting such images to be used for FR searches in criminal investigations.1
