Overview
Enhancements in management and information technology improvements will ensure all DOJ
components are able to function in an interoperable environment, particularly with respect to
preventing terrorist attacks on the United States. The FBI has requested infrastructure
enhancements to expand its law enforcement capabilities and modernize and improve critical
infrastructure. Specific initiatives include: headquarters capital improvement projects; programs
providing adequate information sharing across law enforcement and homeland security agencies;
and other information technology upgrades and improvements.

Biometric Identification System and the FBI’s IAFIS. An interim interoperable solution
