Biometrics.gov

Biometrics.gov is the central source of information on biometrics-related activities of the Federal government. Two sister sites provide a repository of biometrics-related public information (www.biometricscatalog.org) and opportunities for discussion (www.biometrics.org). These web sites, working together, were developed to encourage greater collaboration and sharing of information on biometric activities among government departments and agencies; commercial entities; state, regional, and international organizations; and the general public.

Biometrics Catalog

The Biometrics Catalog is a free to use, U.S. Government sponsored, database of public information about biometric technologies. Inclusion or exclusion of a posting does not imply U.S. Government endorsement or non-endorsement. The Biometrics Catalog is kept current by its users, who add information as it becomes available.

The FBI’s home page is a great way to learn all about the Bureau.   You can contact the FBI, get news about the Bureau, and learn about everything from laboratories to our 100 year history.

National Science and Technology Council (NSTC)

The NSTC is the principal means within the Executive Branch to coordinate science and technology policy across the diverse entities that make up the Federal research and development enterprise. The BCOE regularly participates in the NSTC’s Subcommittee on Biometrics and Identity Management meetings to ensure the FBI is coordinated with interagency biometric activities to promote interoperability and reduce redundancies.

Subcommittee on Forensic Science (SoFS)

The purpose of the SoFS is to advise and assist the Committee on Science, the National Science and Technology Council, and other coordination bodies of the Executive Office of the President on policies, procedures, and plans related to forensic science.
