Fingermark Visualisation Manual

The Home Office Centre for Applied Science and Technology (CAST) published the ‘Fingermark Visualisation Manual’ in January 2014. This guidance replaces the widely used ‘Manual of Fingerprint Development Techniques’ 2nd Edition.
This vastly revised and extended Manual (~900 pages and ~1200 images and diagrams) is presented in a new style to reflect advances in both science and operational practice. Most notably, it is in electronic format enabling simple navigation via the use of links within text, diagrams, index or navigation bars.
The Fingermark Visualisation Manual, 1st Edition (2014) has been implemented across all UK police forces. All other customers are now able to purchase a copy, as an interactive pdf, from our distribution partners The Stationery Office.
