FROM PRINT TO IDENTIFICATION 119

1. AFIS Volumes: This report provides latent print activity for all users on
monthly, year-to-date, and cumulative bases by search reason.
2. Idents by Actual Crime: This report links an ident to the crime from which the
latent print was acquired. Date, operator, and crime type variables are used.
3. HIT Summary of Searches: This report provides specific information on the
latent case and the ident. It is useful in identifying commonalities of idents.
Date, operator, and crime type variables are used.
4. HIT Summary of SIDs: This report provides specific information on the SID.
It is useful in identifying commonalities of SID numbers. Date, operator, and

All of these reports can provide valuable information to the AFIS supervisors,
managers, and policy makers. They can show both strengths and weakness,
opportunities and threats.
