AFIS is a mission-critical, shared, statewide computer system developed for the storage, management and searching of rolled fingerprints (nearly 1.5 million cards) and partial, or latent, fingerprints. There are more than 20 AFIS remote sites, available to the State Police and other state and local agencies, throughout Virginia.
