Abstract
This program will educate attendees about preliminary findings from a blind quality
control (BQC) program in the Latent Prints section at the Houston Forensic Science Center. Additionally, this
presentation will detail the quality of latent prints examined as part of this program, explore how this information
can be used to improve similar programs, and consider implications for routine casework.
