  Latent Prints


Three proficiency tests are offered in the discipline of latent prints. Each test is issued once per year and allows nine weeks (shipment to Data Due Date) for examination.
    Latent Prints Proficiency Test: 516
    Comparison of 4 sets of inked known/exemplar prints with 8-12 latent prints. Samples consist of digitally produced photographs.

    Latent Prints Proficiency Test: 517/518
    Comparison of 4 sets of inked known/exemplar prints with 8-12 latent prints. The images are the same for both tests; however, Test 517 will consist of digitally produced photographs, and Test 518 will consist of digital images placed on compact discs (1000 ppi, .tif format). The shipment and reporting aspects of these tests are combined.
