The recovery of Fingerprints from the Crime Scene requires a combination of the following:-
- Chemical Treatments/Powders
- Photography with specialist lighting
- Digital Image Enhancement
In the early 1990’s Esther Neate, who worked for a UK Police Force, began researching methods to optimise Fingerprint Evidence. The result was featured in BBC Tomorrows World in 1998. The complete Fingerprint Imaging System (first marketed in 2000 as the DCS121) is today recognised as the DCS5, from Foster and Freeman Ltd. It is a world leading technology used by law enforcement agencies worldwide. Esther lectures and trains extensively both at International conferences and with individual Law Enforcement agencies.
