Sirchie Finger Print Laboratories leaves old fingerprinting methods in the dust. The company develops, manufactures, and sells crime-scene investigation equipment including fingerprint gathering and recording materials, invisible inks, forensic analysis equipment, and software to assist in creating composite images of crime suspects. Sirchie's customers are law enforcement and government agencies. The company has spun off surveillance equipment maker Law Enforcement Associates but retains an ownership stake in that firm. Sirchie's primary shareholder, president, and CEO is John H. Carrington, a former North Carolina state senator.
