BACKGROUND:
The Latent Unit is part of the Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Forensic Services Division. The Unit is staffed with a
Forensic Supervisor, four (4) Criminalists and a Fingerprint Examiner. The upgrade from Fingerprint Examiner II to
Criminalist III will ensure staffs responsible for latent comparisons and processing have a higher level of education
and knowledge of scientific methodologies. This ensures accuracy and integrity of the casework and will aid in the
development and validation of new techniques, which will enhance the RAN program.
