I'm surprised to hear that individual states might be running their own fingerprint database.
I't was my understanding that the FBI maintained a U.S. database and that individual states would submit prints for analysis.

cities, counties and states all often keep fingerprint records. if a crime is committed, and you run fingerprints, its a lot quicker to check a smaller database for prints.
