*** Coming 2022 - Friction Ridge Examination - Part 2, 40 hour course
Currently under development
The purpose of the course is to provide the attendee with advanced skills and knowledge needed to perform latent friction ridge examinations. The course will cover topics such as identifying the primary regions of the palm and the typical ridge flow patterns in each region, identifying types of distortion that can appear in latent impressions and how to recognize them when they happen, as well as discussions on complex issues such as simultaneous and overlapping impressions. Attendees will complete practical exercises that include palmprint comparisons, identifying types of distortion, and latent print comparisons. Topics additionally covered by this course include the impacts of latent print development techniques on the examination process, and how to identify fabricated impressions. Recommended but not required is the completion of the “Friction Ridge Examination – Part 1” course.
