Friction Ridge Detail on Video 10:15-12

Service Description

When you think about evidence, do you ever wonder what is out there in all the images and videos captured daily?Evidence is often inadvertently captured in images or videos from sources like cell phones, surveillance cameras, or social media. Even if evidence, like friction ridge detail or the serial number on a gun, wasn’t intentionally documented, advanced forensic techniques can sometimes extract usable information from these digital sources.Traditionally, the Latent Print Unit focuses on processing physical evidence and comparing fingerprint lift cards, while the Forensic Imaging Unit deals with analyzing visual evidence to identify license plates and clothing. However, with the rise of digital imaging and video technology, there are opportunities for collaboration between these units. The Latent Print Unit and Forensic Imaging Unit work together to utilizing digital evidence in new ways that you might not have thought about. Katie McCoy and Amanda M.
