Measuring Success 

The National DNA Index (NDIS) contains over 12,517,059 offender¹ profiles, 2,462,335 arrestee profiles and 726,709 forensic profiles as of August 2016. 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 August 2016, CODIS has produced over 343,341 hits assisting in more than 329,460 investigations.The National DNA Index (NDIS) contains over 12,517,059 offender1 profiles, 2,462,335 arrestee profiles and 726,709 forensic profiles as of August 2016.
