The Mission

The Biometrics Analysis Unit (BAU) supports the U.S. government’s and international partners’ global ability to counter and defeat the IED threat through timely, high-quality, forensic latent print and DNA examination of IED materials, yielding actionable intelligence for investigative use.

BAU Latent Print Squad

  • Develop latent prints on a wide range of surfaces using state-of-the-art equipment and chemical techniques
  • Search images of latent prints against millions of known reference holdings within the Next Generation Identification (NGI) system
  • Use friction ridge analysis to make critical biometric associations to persons of interest
  • Share fingerprint images with counterpart agencies to create a flow of biometric intelligence on a global scale
  • Provide full support to FBI investigations and prosecution support to partnering countries, special agent bomb technicians, and the intelligence community
