CCBI - City/County Bureau of Identification


CCBI badgeThe City-County Bureau of Identification was established by the North Carolina Legislature in 1937. This specialized fingerprint identification bureau was founded as an independent agency to ensure that a high level of technical identification services could be provided to support all law enforcement agencies in Wake County. Within these guidelines, the CCBI Director is under the technical supervision of the District Attorney.

Mission Priorities

  • Locate, examine, process, and identify forensic evidence from crime scenes.

  • Maintain criminal record and fingerprint files in all Wake County arrests.

  • Perform non-criminal fingerprint identification services for the general public.

Our Investigations Division searches for, develops and identifies physical evidence that can be unmistakably linked to the perpetrator of a crime.

Our Support Services Division maintains concise record information on criminals with the single most accurate technique of identification: fingerprinting. The Support Services Division also helps the general public with their personal identification needs including employment fingerprinting and record checks.

The Crime Laboratory Division consists of the Forensic Examiners (Impression Evidence), the Evidence Technician, Forensic Examiner for Digital Evidence, a Forensic Photographer and Drug Chemist. This department handles forensic photo analysis and comparison, footwear impression analysis and comparison, drug analysis, and forensic computer examinations and video enhancement.
