The Forensic Services Unit is a team of personnel tasked with evidence collection and preservation.
Unit personnel are a key element of the investigative process.
The Latent Prints Section processes latent prints to identify the suspects of offenses. They utilize a national print identification network to identify offenders of past crimes, not only in Michigan, but throughout the country. Several of the unit personnel are nationally recognized experts in different fields of forensic science. The importance of this unit and their contribution to effective policing cannot be overstated. Whether the task is locate and identify trace evidence at a crime scene, to photograph evidence, or to create a composite of a suspect utilizing computer technology, they are an integral part of law enforcement today.
