Unit 03: Fingerprinting

Can you identify the characteristics present in this fingerprint????

9/24--Intro to fingerprinting--history and notes! Make sure you have all notes completed in your packet and be able to identify the various characteristics of fingerprints.

9/25--We finished our first set of notes (shown above).

We watched a fingerprint video today based upon cracking security used with fingerprints.

9/26--We took our first fingerprint ourselves today to evaluate for our own minutia. Most used a balloon in order to "magnify" the prints. Some took a print on paper then used a hand lens to evaluate. We took just a print of our thumb and index finger.

9/27-28--We worked on recognizing and identifying minutiae from the worksheet attached below and also in our own prints. We learned how to take fingerprints and did our first tenprint card!
