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.

Disposable inked strips produced excellent fingerprint images that can fulfill a variety of field applications, including child identification and immigration checks.
