The Latest Technologies Help Fingerprinting Play a Crucial Role in Law Enforcement  by: Harold Hitt 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. Hitt Marking Devices stays ahead of the curve in terms of fingerprinting techniques, supplying the finest technology to the largest law enforcement agencies. From pads to inked strips, from cards to records, we carry all the products you will need to ensure accurate identification and a rapid, safe cleanup.
