Understanding Latent Fingerprints and Development Processes
Delve into the world of latent fingerprints with an introduction to fingerprint patterns, development processes using black, magnetic, and silver powders, as well as techniques involving brushes, wands, and lifting methods. An exercise assignment explores print development on various surfaces and print analysis of recovered patterns.

EXERCISE ASSIGNMNENT Surface: For this exercise, I developed latent print(s) from a glass, coffee mug, sheet of paper, ceramic tile etc. It has a smooth, non-porous surface which was flat, rounded, concave, etc. Powder selection: I used black powder or magnetic powder and explain why. Results: I was able to obtain approximately 2, 3, 4 prints from the object selected. Explain whether or not you can see ridge detail with the naked eye.
EXERCISE ASSIGNMNENT Print Analysis: o What type of print patterns were recovered? o All whorls, loops, arches, or combinations thereof.
