Fieldprint provides all aspects of the fingerprinting process – from electronic collection to channeling and everything in between. We are one of the few companies authorized by the FBI as a private channeler, allowing us to send fingerprints and receive results directly from the FBI.

Fingerprints are classified in a three-way process: by the shapes and contours of individual patterns, by noting the finger positions of the pattern types, and by relative size, determined by counting the ridges in loops and by tracing the ridges in whorls.

Arches are the least common type of fingerprint.

The IAFIS provides automated fingerprint search capabilities, latent searching capability, electronic image storage, and electronic exchange of fingerprints and responses, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
