Using a process called Video Capture and Enhancement, we can slow down, enhance and print from surveillance tapes collected at gas stations, mini-marts, banks, etc. Many crimes have been solved by matching fingerprints from crime scenes to the database of all arrested suspects in the state. If they had not been used, the outcome of the trial may have been different. Training The training we have and technology we utilize is of little value unless we can present our findings to a judge and jury in a comprehensive and professional manner. Courtroom training and preparation is very important and many of our members are qualified experts in the science of fingerprints in multiple jurisdictions as well as in United States Federal Court.
Teaching is highly encouraged.
We will train any and all law enforcement personnel whenever requested. In the past year, CSS personnel have trained hundreds of officers and civilians on 239 different occasions in locations throughout the state. Several of our officers regularly teach out of state and at the International Association for Identification's annual conferences held at various locations throughout the country. Several of our personnel are nationally recognized as leaders in the field. Innovative evidence processing techniques have been developed by our personnel and several of our members have been published.
