| Summary: | Latent prints are chance or accidental impressions left by friction ridge skin on a surface, regardless of whether it is visible or invisible at the time of deposition. Recognition of evidence that may contain fingerprints and the processes that can develop these latents is crucial in preventing valuable evidence from being left undetected. In the authors opinion, basic police training does not cover this subject adequately and other first responders may not receive any training at all. Latent Print Processing Guide offers a broad understanding of latent print detection, development and recovery including insights on some state of the art technologies, including electronic, chemical, cyanoacrylate and physical methods. Begins with the history of latent print identification and some of the pioneers and their contributions. Defines the differences between chemical and physical processes, explains process sequence protocols and recovery methods for different types of evidence. This guide is written to educate and assist first responders, non-crime scene trained or non-crime laboratory personnel so that valuable evidentiary information is not lost. |
