This research attempts to provide insight on the extent of verification as currently practiced within the latent fingerprint community. Ten questions were posed to this community regarding various aspects of verification: 56 agencies responded. The study results indicate that nearly every agency is performing verifications on 100 percent of reported fingerprint identifications. The study results also indicate that exclusion, inconclusive, and "no value" decisions are not being verified to the same extent. Interestingly, erroneous identifications constitute the minority of technical fingerprint errors, whereas erroneous exclusions, missed identifications, and inappropriate "inconclusive" and "no value" decisions are far more numerous.
