Latent fingerprint examiners are people who look at fingerprints left on a crime scene. Also register, search, analyze, and identify fingerprints in the Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS). They also record criminal history and provides expert witness testimonies in court. They view animated or hard copies of fingerprints and they also prepare the print for computer entry. They also enhance the fingerprint with the computer. They also have to prepare displays of the latent fingerprint for testimonies.
