Fingerprint development

Sub-specialties: Development only, Development & assessment

Fingerprint development specialists are competent in the techniques and chemical processes to develop and/or recover friction ridge detail of the fingers and/or palms on a range of surfaces.

They provide advice, guidance and statements of evidence within their field of practice. This requires appropriate knowledge of the techniques and processes that can be used for this, and knowledge of the general requirements of health and safety.

Specialists registered in fingerprint development and assessment are competent not only in the development and/or recovery of friction ridge detail but in recording and/or assessing it.
