Latent Fingerprint Processing Class
This 3-day workshop is designed for police officers, detectives, crime scene investigators, and criminalists who process evidence for latent prints. Inexperienced officers and seasoned investigators alike will expand their abilities using the concepts and methods taught in this class.
This course focuses on the proper order of techniques used to process different types of evidence for latent ridge detail. The sequences of processing techniques taught in this class are in accordance with SWGFAST recommendations and IAI Crime Scene Certification reference materials.
Students will benefit from various lectures with case examples in combination with several hands-on exercises. The practical exercises will expose students to common chemicals, powders, and forensic light sources used on different evidence surfaces to yield the best results. The last day of the class will focus on documenting developed ridge detail with macro photography.
