Engineers in Wiltshire have helped to develop and commercialise a device that reveals latent fingerprints from thermal paper in minutes. Zeals-based Consolite Forensics worked with Dr John Bond, a senior lecturer in forensic sciences at Leicester University and former head of forensic sciences with Northamptonshire police, to develop the Hot Print System (HPS), a patent-pending device that that is quick and simple to use, requires no pre-processing or chemical treatment of samples, and is effective on latent fingerprints that are up to two years old.
