Michael Westdal: As we know the
first 48 hours in investigation is vital

2
00:00:07.130 --> 00:00:10.400
in apprehending suspects in
the crimes we investigate.

3
00:00:10.400 --> 00:00:14.000
Just like peeling away the layers of an
onion, we start collecting evidence.

4
00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:17.070
We determine the items
at the crime scene

5
00:00:17.070 --> 00:00:20.000
that were likely held by the suspect.

6
00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:24.430
Then determine the type of surface that
is involved and what would be

7
00:00:24.430 --> 00:00:26.480
appropriate method to process.

8
00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:28.530
Then they can be either photographed or lifted,

9
00:00:28.530 --> 00:00:31.560
placed on a fingerprint card and then

10
00:00:31.560 --> 00:00:34.580
eventually turned into the fingerprint section.

Patricia Wolfhope: The mobile device
that we're using here in Stockton,

13
00:00:40.750 --> 00:00:45.020
California, has the capability of
imaging latent prints in the field.

14
00:00:45.020 --> 00:00:49.070
And what I've found is that with the
mobile device we can deal with

15
00:00:49.070 --> 00:00:54.070
those prints immediately on site and
have results almost near realtime.

16
00:00:55.500 --> 00:01:00.500
Robert Christensen: The local law
enforcement, they had a very urgent need

17
00:01:01.640 --> 00:01:06.640
of able to record latents, or fingerprints
left behind at a crime scene.

18
00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:11.080
Eric Jones: Criminals are always changing
the way they do business,

19
00:01:11.080 --> 00:01:14.010
we have to keep up with the times.

20
00:01:14.010 --> 00:01:16.330
We have to be able to react quicker
than we have in the past.

21
00:01:16.330 --> 00:01:19.640
The ability for the mobile biometric
device to be able to give us

22
00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:24.640
results and gives us leads, leads we
can act upon in the field much quicker

23
00:01:24.960 --> 00:01:28.330
than ever before, has been just,
critically important to Stockton

24
00:01:28.330 --> 00:01:33.330
Police Department. Its a tool that helps
us police smarter and its a tool that

25
00:01:33.580 --> 00:01:37.670
helps us, really protect the community
in ways that we have not been able to

26
00:01:37.670 --> 00:01:42.670
do before in the past.
