Many of my students have expressed to me that latent palm prints are very difficult for them to compare. They also suggested that I should develop a palm print comparison course that simulates routine case work type training. This is that class! This 40-hour course combines both lecture and latent palm print comparison exercises. The ACE-V methodology of comparing and identifying latent prints is discussed as it relates to the scientific method. The latent palm print practical exercises in this course will definitely provide a real-life case work type training experience. If your goal is to improve your latent palm print comparison skills, this class will provide valuable training to help you achieve your goal.
