#2 Introduction to AFIS Systems

Faculty

Keith B. Morris, PhD Forensic & Investigative Science West Virginia University PO Box 6121 Morgantown, WV 26506-6121

Restricted Audience Size: 20

This workshop will demonstrate the applicability of Automated Fingerprint Systems (AFIS) in a small agency. Attendees will gain hands–on experience in the utilization of a system which will include the entry of both ten-prints and latents. The searching against the AFIS database and the evaluation of results will also be introduced.

The target audience is for all levels who are contemplating the introduction of small AFIS systems or those who would like to hone their skills on AFIS Systems.

Techniques for the improvement of searching criteria and evaluation of the system stability will also be introduced.

Interested persons may bring electronic versions of their ten-prints and latents for testing purposes.
