Re: Resources for Forensic Examiners
This just got released and is also a great resource for practitioners.
Postmortem Printing Series
It is a collaboration between the FBI Lab and the DC Office of the Chief Medical Examiner that provides helpful techniques and tips for collecting exemplar fingerprints from a variety of body conditions.
Bryan Johnson is the narrator and (presumably) the person in the video demonstrating the techniques who has worked for the Bureau for years and is the current Major Incident Program Manager for the Latent Print Unit of the FBI Lab. I met him years ago and he is extremely knowledgeable in the recovery of friction ridge detail from less than ideal skin conditions.
Please share this with your contacts as well.
