Latent Fingerprint Development Workshop with Cyanoacrylate, Fluorescent Powders, and Forensic Lights
As part of strengthening our students' practical training, a specialized workshop was held on developing latent prints using cyanoacrylate, fluorescent powders, and forensic lights. The activity was aimed at students in the subject. Ocular Inspection II, as well as teachers and support staff.
During the workshop, key theoretical aspects of the importance of these materials in forensics were addressed, practical demonstrations were conducted, and recording protocols and formats for collecting latent evidence were applied. Participants were able to correctly understand and apply the procedures required for detecting latent prints at crime scenes.
This initiative responds to the need to provide future forensic science professionals with up-to-date tools aligned with the demands of the international forensic context.
The workshop integrated the substantive university functions:
- Teaching: Strengthening practical skills in essential forensic techniques.
- Research: Basis for future innovations in fingerprint development protocols.
- Extension: Dissemination of good practices that strengthen legal security.
- Management: Promotion of efficient procedures for the collection of trace evidence.
This space reaffirms our commitment to comprehensive, rigorous, and high-quality training in the field of criminalistics and forensic science.
