or on items of evidence from a crime, can be used in forensic science to identify suspects, victims and other persons who touched a surface. This finger printing system replaced
anthropometric measurements as a more reliable method for identifying persons having a prior record, often under an alias name, in a criminal record repository. Like many states across America, Virginias
Police Force has a finger printing process to identify and sort through criminal records. This process is run by a separate entity called the Central Criminal Records Exchange (CCRE). In
