Although the knowledge of fingerprints had been around since ancient times, and been utilized in certain applications, the first recorded practical use of the fingerprint classification system for law enforcement purposes is cited below;
"A leading fingerprint researcher of the time period was Juan Vucetich. Vucetich was employed as a statistician with the Central Police Department in La Plata, Argentina, until his promotion to the head of the bureau of Anthropometric Identification. Vucetich, having studied Galton's research, began to experiment with fingerprints in 1891. He started recording the fingerprints of criminals and devised his own classification system (Lambourne, 1984, pp 58-59).
Vucetich's classification system and individualization of prisoners through the use of fingerprints were the first practical uses of the fingerprint science by law enforcement personnel.
Other countries soon looked into using a fingerprint system to identify prisoners."
