“"Justice denied anywhere diminishes justice everywhere"

Understand the basic Automated Fingerprint Identification Systems. 

Terminology Used by the Fingerprint Community 

An Understanding of the Analysis, Comparison, Evaluation and Verification methodology (ACE-V). 

Fingerprint Pattern Recognition/Classification

The program while similar to the training program a fingerprint examiner might receive; does not cover material that would be of little benefit to individuals not involved in the daily functioning of a fingerprint unit. These modifications do not compromise our course training objectives but allows us to offer this new fingerprint training program at a very reasonable cost."  

• Understanding the use of fingerprints, palmprints in criminal and civil applications.
• Understanding Friction ridge examination (analysis, comparison, evaluation, and verification).
• Ability to properly conduct a comparison and render a proper and accurate conclusion.
• Ability to analyze friction ridge details to determine the value for comparison.
• Recognize/utilize ridge flow, scars, creases, and other detail supporting examination.Recognize and properly determine,the area from which the friction ridges originated.
• Properly analyze latent impressions,understand pressure distortion,slippage, and overlays.
• Documentation of a latent examination.
• Daubert.

Our training course is designed to fit into any training program that adhere's to the Scientific Working Group Fingerprint Ridge Analysis, Study and Technology training guidelines. Goals expected from this training include:

• Understanding the use of fingerprints, palmprints in criminal and civil applications.
• Understanding Friction ridge examination (analysis, comparison, evaluation, and verification).
• Ability to properly conduct a comparison and render a proper and accurate conclusion.
• Ability to analyze friction ridge details to determine the value for comparison.
• Recognize/utilize ridge flow, scars, creases, and other detail supporting examination.Recognize and properly determine,the area from which the friction ridges originated.
• Properly analyze latent impressions,understand pressure distortion,slippage, and overlays.
• Documentation of a latent examination.Ability to produce a court exhibit.
• Understand Daubert.

This training could be used by current examiners as part of a continuing education program or a reasonably priced alternative to the more expensive proficiency tests.

Students who have successfully completed the Forensic Biometric Identification Solutions LLC. Basic Pattern Recognition and Verification Techniques Training, will get a discount. Cost to past students will be $300. 

latent verification workshops available to agencies and/or experienced latent examiners to use as part of a continuing education or proficiency program. All latent examiners realize the importance of comparing latent images that allow you to evaluate your skill set. There are 80 comparisons of latent finger and palm images that are very similar in quality to the latents you compare daily. SolutionsLLC 

Basic Pattern Recognition and Verification Techniques Training. The course is the equivalent of the 40 hr programs administered by most state and federal agencies. The course includes fingerprint workshops which will allow the student to actually utilize the learned techniques. The course has tremendous benefits to law offices (prosecution/defense),law enforcement agencies, and criminal justice students. After completion of the course the student will:
 * Understand automated fingerprint identification system (AFIS) processing.
* Determine proper pattern type.
* Classify fingerprint cards using the NCIC and IAFIS formulas.
* Determine "usability" fingerprint images for comparison purposes.
* Understand and apply Analysis,Comparison, Evaluation and Verification methodology in comparison of fingerprint images.

Capturing Fingerprint Impressions(Livescan/Ink & Roll).
Student will:
* Understand the history of fingerprints for civil and Law enforcement applications.
* Understand how the automated fingerprint identification systems function.

* The student understand importance and what is needed in a good quality fingerprint, inked or livescan fingerprint capture:
             Ink and roll
             Livescan
* Student will be able to determine and define pattern area and be able to understand the required elements of a good fingerprint image.
