Description: The COmbined DNA Index System (CODIS), overseen by the FBI and implemented by the ISP at the state level, blends forensic science and computer technology into an effective tool for solving crimes. CODIS began as a pilot project in 1990 serving 14 state and local laboratories. ISP participated in that pilot project and began using CODIS routinely in 1993. The FBI's National DNA Index System (NCDIS), which became fully operational in 1998, enables states participating in the CODIS program to exchange and compare DNA profiles on a national level.
