The
Latest Technologies Help Fingerprinting Play a Crucial
Role in Law Enforcement
It’s no secret that fingerprinting
is an invaluable technique that can be used to solve
numerous types of cases, from theft to homicide. Every
person possesses a unique set of fingerprints, which
allows law enforcement officers to identify suspected
criminals through the analysis of prints collected at
crime scenes and elsewhere.
Law enforcement agencies
have relied on fingerprinting methodology for decades,
but the emergence of newer technologies has increased
the role it can play in chasing criminals. Computerized
fingerprinting has raised the standards and resulted
in marked improvements in the number of accurate identification.
Fingerprinting products are integral parts of evidence
collection kits, which help law enforcement officers
in the accurate, timely accumulation of vital evidence.
To add to the ease of fingerprinting,
methods are now in place that make the ink nonexistent
or easy to remove with just a moist towelette or running
your fingers together. Disposable inked strips produced
excellent fingerprint images that can fulfill a variety
of field applications, including child identification
and immigration checks.
The FBI boasts the largest collection
of fingerprints in the world, with a quarter of a billion
sets—representing about 75 million people. These
prints are stored digitally, which allows agencies to
submit fingerprint images electronically. This technology
has reduced the process from the weeks of time it once
took to less than two hours, resulting in faster turnaround
times and arrests.
