Basic Latent Prints

This 24 hour 3 day course will provide training and assistance in the proper recognition, documentation, and development of latent print evidence, which may be detected at the crime scene. The ultimate purpose of learning the correct procedures for documenting and developing latent print evidence is for suspect identification which may later solve the crime. Terminology, various processing techniques, and hands on processing will be included in this training. Student work is supplemented with actual case scenarios throughout the course to enhance the student’s understanding of the importance of this training.
The student will also be provided a latent print processing kit for future crime scene processing.
