Training – Online Training
Training is available anywhere in Canada. Typically the training takes place in a group setting with up to 16 participants. There may be additional logistical requirements that can be discussed as the workshops are confirmed.
Understanding Palm Prints and Phalangeal Impressions (Basic) – Workshop (8 hours)
The class will participate in a hands-on sessions where they will learn to analyze and recognize;
- The Regions of the palm
- The Major creases of the palm
- Level One Ridge flow of the palm (L1D)
- Latent Palm shapes
- Phalangeal Impressions
Students will apply and demonstrate that knowledge throughout the day in a group setting with many exercises. They will each present their findings to the group. The goal is to improve both their confidence and their competence.
- There are no prerequisites for this workshop. Anyone will benefit and should be able to participate.

This course has been approved as an 8 hour credit towards IAI latent print certification or re-certification.
Intermediate Palm Analysis – Workshop (8 hours)
Building on the knowledge and skills in the basic class the group will now develop new knowledge and a deeper understanding of;
- Crease development and path
- Major flexion creases
- Minor flexion creases
- Secondary flexion creases
- Intermediate Level One Ridge Flow (L1D)
Students will apply and demonstrate that knowledge throughout the day in a group setting with many exercises. The class will begin to understand which creases are more valuable than others, which they can use in their evaluation decisions. They will each present their findings in a group setting.
- The basic workshop or it’s equivalent is a prerequisite for this workshop.
- A magnifier of some sort will be beneficial.
This course has been approved as an 8 hour credit towards IAI latent print certification or re-certification.
A 3 day workshop called, “Friction Ridge Analysis – A Return to Science” is now available!
This workshop is NOW APPROVED for 24 hour credits towards IAI Latent Print Certification or Recertification! (CLPE)
This workshop will help examiners understand each aspect of the ACE-V process and improve their understanding of the Qualitative-Quantitative assessment process required in friction ridge analysis. Ultimately, this will improve examiners confidence in decision-making and will improve their ability to prepare reports that everyone in the criminal justice system will understand. The course will also assist examiners when they testify to friction ridge evidence.
The first workshop hosted by the Brantford Police Service May 16-18, 2022 has been completed.
Any Canadian law enforcement agency interested in hosting a class will need to guarantee 16 candidates before a course can be run.
If you or your agency is interested in hosting a workshop please contact Shane @ 416-455-2399 or @ sstforensicscdn@gmail.com
