Contact Information

NRTI as we knew it is no more, and I don't know what will happen in the future. Technically, I'm still employed by the College, though am enjoying a paid hiatus, and working on everything I couldn't work on when I was spending 70 hours a week running the Program, like cleaning up from the tornado that hit, what, 7 years ago now? I'm also commissioned with a nearby county agency, actually answering to one of the more popular instructors, so I'm still trying to keep my hand in.

I'll continue to post information and news from grads and friends, and also want to keep current with LE news and references.

My College phone and e-mail are pretty much out of service, so I'll be setting up yet another account , so we can stay in touch.

Fingerprint References

The FBI has made most of their classification guides and such available on CD to LE agencies and seems to have removed most of the downloadable pdfs they used to provide.  I know the information essentially hasn't changed, but the design and typography made them look like something mimeographed in 1956 by J. Edgar Hoover while he was wearing a bustier.

A more accessible reference, that includes latent processing, is the The Fingerprint Sourcebook, available for free download by chapter.  Combine it with Crime Scene Investigation: A Reference for Law Enforcement Training and you've got some decent basic references on crime scene management.

Print equipment manufacturers also do a good job of essentially providing texts on how to use their equipment.  Sirchie, Lynn Peavey and Arrowhead Forensics are the ones I use most frequently.  They all have websites, and usually have reference or guide sections on them.
