Proficiency tests for latent examiners?

[Cindy Rennie]

In the past, I have created latent tests by pulling samples from old cases and selecting ten sets of ten-print cards for the candidate to compare.

Somewhere in the files of our training office (cover me, I'm going in!) there are ten such tests that I created a few years ago.

If I can't find them, I face a month of creating a new set of tests - one latent to ten possible ten prints - ten times.

Is there a vendor that sells pre-set proficiency tests for latent examiners?

Is there an association (besides the IAI, which is too broad in scope for our purposes) that has latent examination only tests?

Cindy-

Collaborative Testing Services makes several latent print proficiency exams that can be purchased. They are approved by ASCLD-LAB. The link for their website is http://www.collaborativetesting.com/.

Good Luck!
