Explain the difference between rolled prints and latent prints:
o Rolled Prints- Likewise, when a thin layer of ink is applied to these same ridges, from the finger rolled on a white card, you have a rolled or "known" fingerprint. The same applied to palm and foot prints. o Latent Prints- When a finger comes in contact with another surface, a transfer takes place of the ridge detail of that finger to that surface. The impression left is called latent (hidden) print. o Positive identification is made by comparing the friction ridge detail in one print with that of another. o Comparison Conclusion- When making comparisons, only three conclusions can be drawn: Positive Identification, Exclusion, and Inconclusive-without clear and sufficient ridge detail to make a positive identification. o There is no valid scientific basis for requiring minimum number of characteristics in making a positive identification. The area the size of a pencil eraser could be sufficient; approximately a ¼ of an inch long as there is sufficient ridge detail. If there are any unexplainable dissimilarity, then it cannot be an identification!

o Latent Prints-
When a finger comes in contact with another surface, a transfer takes place of the ridge detail of that finger to that surface. The impression left is called latent (hidden) print. o Positive identification is made by comparing the friction ridge detail in one print with that of another. o Comparison Conclusion- When making comparisons, only three conclusions can be drawn: Positive Identification, Exclusion, and Inconclusive-without clear and sufficient ridge detail to make a positive identification. o There is no valid scientific basis for requiring minimum number of characteristics in making a positive identification. The area the size of a pencil eraser could be sufficient; approximately a ¼ of an inch long as there is sufficient ridge detail. If there are any unexplainable dissimilarity, then it cannot be an identification!

Describe the difference between Henry, NCIC, and pattern classification and why they were created:
Classification was created so we can find them again. Classification is for filing and retrieval of rolled inked fingerprint cards. Identification is concerned with comparison of the individual ridge characteristics to that of another for positive identification. • Henry- Divided into six classifications- Primary, Secondary, Sub-secondary, Major, Final, Key. Shows all 10 fingers with the right thumb 1st and the left thumb 6. • NCIC- Looks a lot simpler. But you must first classify by the Henry System then you can transpose your Henry findings to the N.C.I.C. system. This classification system allows the fingerprint classification to be placed in a computer and transmitted. • Pattern Classification- Shapes of fingerprints (Arches (approx 5%), Loops (approx 60%), and Whorls (approx 35%)), Position (position refers to block on the inked fingerprint card), Size (size refers to the ridge count of loop and ridge tracing of whorls). • Loop- Delta and Core, Ulnar Loop (left slant) extends across the finger and curves back to the little finger side, Radial Loop (R) (Right slant) extends across the finger and curves back to the thumb side. Now classified as right slant and left slant loops. • Whorls- Plain whorl (Core in center, Delta, Delta), Central pocket loop, double loops, accidental (Delta, Delta, Delta), delta, delta and core. They can also be broken down further by their ridge tracing inner, outer, or meeting. • Arches- Arches, Tented Arches, no core no delta.

Be prepared. Take separate vehicles if possible so one person can stay longer if needed. Never take personal items to the home. Tell the survivors how to recover items if they are in the custody of your department. Decide who will lead in the speaking. Decide what will be said. • In person- Always make death notification in person-Not by telephone. Arrange notification in person even if survivor lives far away - medical examiner, sister agency, etc. Never take death notification information over the radio - phone in. • In plain Language- Identify yourself, Relate the message directly and in plain language. Call the victim by name. Begin with and end with "I'm very sorry this happened". Be sure to inform those you are to notify of your name, rank, and agency you represent. Ask to come inside. • Control the situation- Do not make the notification at the doorstep - ask to move inside. Ask if there are any other persons in the home at time of notification and have them join you. Let the family decide if small children should be present. • Breaking the news- Your arrival tells them something bad has happened. Don't try to work around the truth - "I'm sorry there has been an accident...didn't survive". Relay the message directly and in plain language "I have some very bad news to tell you." Use the "D" words - Death, Dead, Died - avoid vague words like lost or passed away. Once you break the news, allow the family to grieve - remember your presence and compassion are the most important resources you bring to a death notification. • With Compassion- Remember: Your presence and compassion are the most important resource you bring to death notification. Accept the survivor's emotions and your own. It is better to let a tear fall than to appear cold and unfeeling. Never try to "talk survivors out of their grief" or offer false hope. • Information- Name, Age/ DOB, address, marital status, cause of death, Location of death, Where deceased is located, Location of personal effects, Name and contact person/ number of agency where family may secure further information. • Notify Others, Secure and Provide information- Choice of funeral home, means for positive identification if needed, brief clergy, if appropriate, explain that an autopsy will be done.

Explain the importance of the size of the tire contact patch with the driving surface:
• "Where the rubber meets the road!" It is about the size of the palm of your hand. Because of certain dynamics of a tire in motion, this contact patch gets smaller, at higher speeds. The contact patch is most efficient when it is pointed straight ahead, and the tire is rolling. The contact patch is less effective when it is turned.

• Blue lights reserved for LE vehicles. White light can be seen up to 3x farther than colored lights and is often one of the colors used in a light bar combination. Wig-wags at night can be blinding. Take-down lights might present more lighting hazards to other traffic than the benefit. No hazards lights, the use of the hazard lights prevent the officer from communicating driving intentions with turn signals. At 60mph you will be within 100 feet of the car in front of you before sound reaches the other car. Be aware of extended period of time with the siren on, can become hypnotized after a long period of time with the siren on (sirenside). Can combat the effects of siren-side by changing the pitch from time to time. Use siren and slowdown through intersections and turns, the siren can bounce off of objects and make it hard for others to find the source of the siren and what direction it is coming from.

Define the driving phrase, "cover the brake":
• Negotiating intersections and when unsure of other driver's actions, will reduce reaction time.
Identify the person who is ultimately responsible for the condition of a motor vehicle:
• Officer safety is dependent on the vehicle. It is your life you are trusting to a poorly maintained vehicle. Well maintained vehicles have fewer problems and are easier to control. Most law enforcement agencies require their patrol officers to inspect their patrol vehicle and equipment before they begin their tour of duty. The way you choose to care for your equipment may determine if you, a citizen or another officer may live or die someday.
Identify the importance of the driver's attitude in relation to the ability to operate a motor vehicle:
• Professional Police Driving: Judgment, Attitude, Environment, Vehicle, and Pro-active. Attitude has the greatest influence on an officer's driving performance and judgment process!!
