   FBI Responds to Relocation of CODIS Server from the City of Albuquerque to   
   Santa Fe   
      
         Washington, D.C. December 29, 2010  a.. FBI National Press Office   
   (202) 324-3691   
      
      
   - filed under: Press Release   
   The actions of the FBI Laboratory, with regard to today's move of the   
   Combined DNA Index System (CODIS) server from the City of Albuquerque,   
   Albuquerque Police Criminalistics Laboratory to the New Mexico Department of   
   Public Safety in Santa Fe, continue to be misinterpreted by some media   
   outlets.   
      
   The FBI has no role in determining the location of each state's DNA   
   database. The decision to change the location of the New Mexico DNA   
   Administrative Center belongs to the state of New Mexico.   
      
   Today's move of the CODIS server from Albuquerque to Santa Fe is being   
   conducted in accordance with NDIS Procedures. The FBI Laboratory is acting   
   in compliance with all protocols and standard practices, to include the back   
   up of data and the transportation of the server. The relocation includes the   
   server and associated data. The FBI is not relocating evidence.   
      
   CODIS operations, and the integrity of the system, will not be affected by   
   the relocation of the server.   
      
   Media reports that suggest that the move is "outside of standard protocol"   
   are inaccurate.   
      
   In accordance with the National DNA Index System (NDIS) Operational   
   Procedures, each State designates one criminal justice agency to be   
   responsible for ensuring that all conditions and standards for NDIS   
   participation are met within that State. Further, to participate in NDIS, a   
   NDIS Laboratory appoints a CODIS Administrator to serve as the central point   
   of contact with the FBI. The CODIS Administrator is responsible for the use   
   of the CODIS software within that State as well as submission of DNA records   
   to the National DNA Index. The State CODIS Administrator is the authorized   
   party to sign all correspondence to the FBI and NDIS Custodian relating to   
   the use of CODIS equipment or software within that State.   
      
   The designated State CODIS Administrator for New Mexico, and the signatory   
   to the FBI/New Mexico Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), is the New Mexico   
   Department of Public Safety. Modifications to the FBI/New Mexico MOU had to   
   be submitted in writing and signed by both the FBI and the New Mexico   
   Department of Public Safety.   
      
   The FBI Laboratory has an obligation to comply with the terms of the MOUs   
   and requirements outlined in the NDIS Operational Procedures prior to   
   authorizing a move of a CODIS server within a state.
