Having access to the latest fingerprint technology is crucial for our experts to lift and analyse fingerprints from almost all manner of surfaces. Providing fingerprint analysis across the US and Europe, The NJF Investigative and Recovery Group can work with a whole or partial print recovered in order to identify the necessary loci, to see if a match can be made to the individual in question.
Finger, palm and foot print impressions are made from the friction or raised epidermis ridges on all parts of the finger, palm or foot. The term fingerprint normally refers to impressions transferred from the pad on the last joint of fingers and thumbs, though fingerprint cards also typically record portions of lower joint areas of the fingers which are also used to make identifications.
Fingerprints can be left on almost any physical objects or surfaces and when left in the right conditions they can remain there for several years. Each fingerprint is unique to an individual and no two fingerprints have ever been found to be the same. Even identical twins who share similar DNA genetics will have different fingerprints. When analyzing fingerprints each contains patterns that allow them to be classified and distinguished from one and other. Common uses of fingerprint analysis are to help identify an unknown victim, witness, or suspect in a criminal investigation. Fingerprint analysis is also used to verify records and most importantly provide links between a suspect and a crime.
