With cutting-edge technology, expert analysis, and unwavering dedication, we are committed to delivering accurate, reliable, and impartial forensic services to support the pursuit of justice.
**Questioned Document Analysis:**
Questioned document analysis is the examination and comparison of documents to determine authenticity, detect alterations, and identify characteristics that may provide valuable insights into the circumstances surrounding a case. Our team of forensic document examiners utilizes a combination of scientific techniques, including handwriting analysis, ink analysis, paper analysis, and typewriting analysis, to scrutinize documents and uncover hidden evidence.
– Handwriting Analysis: Our experts examine handwriting samples to identify distinctive features, such as letter formations, slant, spacing, and pressure, to determine authorship or detect forgeries.
– Ink Analysis: By analyzing the chemical composition of ink, we can determine the type of pen or printer used, identify alterations or additions, and establish the age of documents.
– Paper Analysis: We scrutinize the physical characteristics of paper, such as texture, watermark, and fiber composition, to trace the origin of documents and detect counterfeit materials.
– Typewriting Analysis: Through careful examination of typewritten documents, we can analyze typewriter characteristics, such as font style, spacing, and alignment, to identify typewriter models and detect forgeries.
**Fingerprint Analysis:**
Fingerprint analysis is the examination and comparison of friction ridge patterns found on the skin’s surface, commonly known as fingerprints, to identify individuals and link them to crime scenes. Our certified fingerprint examiners employ state-of-the-art techniques, such as fingerprint identification, latent print development, and automated fingerprint recognition systems, to analyze fingerprints and provide crucial evidence in criminal investigations.
– Fingerprint Identification: Using specialized equipment and software, we compare latent fingerprints recovered from crime scenes with known prints to establish positive identifications or exclusions.
– Latent Print Development: We utilize various chemical, physical, and optical techniques to enhance and visualize latent fingerprints on surfaces, such as paper, glass, and metal, to aid in identification and analysis.
– Automated Fingerprint Recognition: Our laboratory utilizes advanced software algorithms and databases to rapidly search and match fingerprints against vast repositories of known prints, facilitating the identification process in large-scale investigations.
