What percentage of "of value" prints do you develop?

[Amy Miller]

Our lab is trying to compile some general statistical information from folks in labs in the US. I know most of you won't have concrete numbers, but an approximate number is also helpful. The info we are looking for is as follows:

1) On what percentage of items (of all items you process) do you develop latent prints "of value" for comparison or identification?

2) Generally how long does your evidence sit in storage before you are able to process it?

3) What is your agency's AFIS hit rate? And is your AFIS system a local system or are you linked to a state AFIS system?

4) What is your agency's IAFIS hit rate?

Feel free to either respond to this posting, message me, or email me at amy.miller@cdps.state.co.us.

Thanks in advance for passing along whatever info you have!
