Measuring Success



The National DNA Index (NDIS) contains over 14,287,909 offender1 profiles, 4,058,033 arrestee profiles and 1,040,573 forensic profiles as of July 2020. Ultimately, the success of the CODIS program will be measured by the crimes it helps to solve. CODIS's primary metric, the "Investigation Aided," tracks the number of criminal investigations where CODIS has added value to the investigative process. As of July 2020, CODIS has produced over 524,257 hits assisting in more than 512,917 investigations.

1Offender profiles include Convicted Offender, Detainee, and Legal profiles at NDIS.
