Latent print examination has advanced considerably over the last 10 to 20 years. The latent print community has become more technical in understanding friction ridge skin and its use for identification. It wasn’t too long ago that most examinations were conducted by police officers in make shift labs. Today, they are performed in forensic laboratories by staff with science backgrounds. And with that came more refined definitions like Ridgeology, Edgeoscopy, Poroscopy, ACE-V Methodology, and Levels 1, 2 and 3. This isn’t “Book’em Danno…we’ve got our guy” anymore.
