This section processes a variety of physical evidence utilizing the latest physical and chemical development techniques, examines photographs, lifts and negatives for identifiable impressions, conducts comparisons between the latent print and known impressions, operates the Automated Fingerprint Identification System and Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System and provides court testimony when necessary.
