On-Site Fingerprint Lifting

Our forensic specialists can attend your location to recover fingerprint evidence in a controlled and professional manner.

Every situation is different, so we assess surfaces, conditions, and handling requirements before selecting the most appropriate method.

Methods We Use:

▸  Powder Dusting

▸  Chemical Development

▸  Alternative Light Sources

▸  Specialist Lifting Techniques

The method used will always depend on the surface and conditions, ensuring the most effective recovery possible.

Surfaces We Can Work With:

Fingerprint recovery varies by surface, but we deliver reliable results across a wide range of environments.

  1. Glass, Glossy Metals, and Plastic – Excellent surfaces for fingerprint detection due to their smooth, non-porous nature.

  2. Glossy Paper and Painted Surfaces – Materials such as magazines, coated paper, and painted wood or metal can retain fingerprints effectively.

  3. Porous Surfaces (e.g. wood and paper) – More challenging, but fingerprints can still be developed depending on the condition and handling of the surface.

  4. Fabric and Textured Materials – More difficult due to absorbent and irregular surfaces, but assessment can be made on a case-by-case basis.

Fingerprint Analysis & Comparison

Once fingerprint evidence has been recovered, the next step is analysis and comparison. We examine the details within each print, including ridge patterns and individual characteristics, to assess similarities and differences.

Using a combination of digital enhancement and manual examination, we clarify prints, isolate key features, and carry out detailed comparisons. This allows us to determine whether prints are consistent with one another or originate from different sources.

What This Can Help With:

▸  Comparing prints from different locations or items

▸  Supporting investigations with physical evidence

▸  Clarifying unclear or partial prints

▸  Providing structured findings for further use
