Impression Evidence PDF
Often thought of as a form of evidence nearly as valuable as fingerprints, impression evidence must receive priority handling. Impression evidence may exist in the following forms: Footprintsin soil or on floors, decks, etc... Tire tracksin soil, and on driveways or roadways Tool marksat the point of entry or within the crime scene. Bite markson the victim. Latent or very difficult to see impressions may also be present, including dust prints or foot impressions left on dry floors. A visual search for impression evidence should be made prior to any attempts to locate and collect other forms of physical evidence. This will help to prevent footprint or tire impressions from being damaged during subsequent searches. When impression evidence is found, secure the area using crime scene barrier tape or other means. It may be necessary to erect a tent or similar shelter to protect fragile impression evidence outdoors in bad weather. The ability to match shoe models, tire types, and teeth patterns is highly valued by investigators. Impressions yield individual characteristics, such as wear patterns, cut marks and other alterations that enhance matching abilities and are invaluable when making positive identifications in an investigation.
Impression Evidence
Various methods of collecting impression evidence have evolved now properly preserved impression evidence can provide a positive match to the shoes worn by the perpetrator, the tires on the vehicle driven by the perpetrator and the tools used to break into the premises.

STEP 3: Mix and pour casting material into impression breaking the fall with spoon or spatula to 1/2-3/4 thickness. Allow 30 min. to cure.
HOW TO USE:
Impression evidence found in snow or ice presents a unique set of difficulties for recovery. Due to the fact that most gypsum-based casting materials generate heat during the curing process, it is necessary to provide an insulating medium. Spray Snow Impression Wax into the impression to prepare the surface for casting. This locks the impression detail to avoid melting when the casting medium is applied. It is supplied in an aerosol can. Using Snow Impression Wax serves a dual purpose: 1. It provides insulation from the curing heat of the casting medium. 2. It hardens the impression, preventing it from being crushed by the weight of the casting medium.
Resulting impression cast using Snow Impression Wax.
Apply 2 coats of Snow Impression Wax from 10-12. Then, spray 6 more coats from 6. Allow 1-2 min. drying time between coats.
Prepare a sufficient amount of casting material to make the cast 1/2-3/4 thick. Can be used with all casting materials.

Hard-Core Blue is used in the same manner as casting plaster. Follow these procedures for consistently good casts: 1. Remove any debris, twigs or leaves found lying on top of the impression. DO NOT remove any object imbedded in the impression. 2. Place a casting frame (No. FCF100) around the impression and prepare the surface by adding several light coatings of dust and dirt hardener (No. 638CA). Allow two to three minutes of drying time between coatings. Hard soil or clay generally will not require hardening. Apply a light coating of silicone release agent (No. SRA10) to the impression. 3. Pour the required amount of mixing solution into the bag with the Hard-Core Blue casting material. 4. Knead the mixture until thoroughly blended (approximately two minutes). The entire mixture should be a uniform color. 5. Pour into the impression. Be certain to break the fall of the mixture using a stick, spoon or spatula. Begin pouring around the edges and allow the mixture to flow over the impression. Generally, the cast should be 1/2 to 3/4 thick. No reinforcement is required.
Due to their size, tire and footprint impressions require a different casting medium than tool marks. For many years, crime scene investigators preferred Plaster of Paris as their first choice for recovering large impressions. In recent years, investigators have switched to die stone or dental stone materials. Die stone or dental stone forms a very durable cast, requires no reinforcement and demonstrates no apparent shrinkage.

Steps 3 and 4
It is possible to make a cast of an impression that is found under water using the following procedure. 1. Carefully place a casting frame around the impression. If possible, the frame should be wide enough so that it stands above the surface of the water. 2. Lightly sprinkle Hard-Core Blue compound to completely cover the impression to a thickness dependent on the water depth. 3. Mix a quantity of Hard-Core Blue with mixing solution and pour the mixture on top of the compound covering the impression. Be certain to break the fall of the mixture with a stick, spoon or spatula. 4. Allow at least 30 minutes for setup. Remove the cast and allow at least 24 hours of drying time before any further examination or handling. PHONE: (800) 356-7311 (919) 554-2244 FAX: (800) 899-8181 (919) 554-2266

about HARD-CORE BLUE DENTAL STONE CASTING MATERIAL
Hard-Core Blue is an all-purpose, gypsum-based casting material that offers Herculean strength, accurate reproductions, simplicity of use and long-term economy. It is a dental stone casting material proven to be the most efficient and practical method for casting tire and footprint impressions. Its superior strength eliminates the need for reinforcement. Typical casts are 1/2 to 3/4 thick (compared with several inches thick using plaster), and offer some amazing properties. It has been stored for months on end in the trunk of a vehicle with no apparent loss of efficiencyfrom subfreezing to temperatures in excess of 100 F (38 C). It sets up in a shorter time and has only a minor exothermic reaction. Only larger impressions require damming or flow restriction.
Hard-Core Blue casting material and solution are sold in premeasured amounts required for mixing.

1. Drive the vehicle with the suspect tire tread over a sheet of SIRCHTRAK attached to the impression board.
To accurately compare tire print evidence, the track left by the suspect tire should be recorded under the pressure of the vehicle. SIRCHTRAK is an easy-to-use drive over system that gives a permanent record of the tire under load, making comparisons to casts and/or photographs more reliable and eliminating dusting or inking of tires to be examined. HOW IT WORKS: Simply lay a sheet of SIRCHTRAK on the impression board and drive the vehicle over it. The pressure of the tire under load causes the interleaved carbon carrier to transfer to the adhesive-coated receiver sheet. Simply peel off the carbon carrier and discard. BENEFITS: Unlike conventional methods of making test tracks, the tire tread imprints are exact, uniform, high-contrast reproductions which become an accurate signature of the suspect tire. The SIRCHTRAK printout is perfect for comparison purposes and ultimate courtroom presentations.
2. Pressure of the tire under load transfers the carbon carrier to the adhesive-coated receiver sheet. Simply peel off carrier and discard.
POINTS OF COMPARISON:
SIRCHTRAK enables the investigator to more precisely examine the following points of comparison: 1. Overall tread design 2. Dimensions between ridges and sections 3. Positions of ridges relative to one another 4. Unusual wear, markings and distinctive features 5. Amount and type of wear

How PVS200 Works:
STEP 1: Latent print is developed on a soda can with SB201L Silver/Black Latent Print Powder.
This incredible formula is the perfect method for lifting powdered latent prints from textured, irregular or curved surfaces. The transparent formula enables direct viewing of the print. Opaque formulas produce a reversed image. In many instances, transparent prints may be placed directly onto a flatbed scanner and scanned into a computer.
STEP 2: Apply the silicone material to the surface with the Extruder Gun and allow to setup 4-6 minutes.
STEP 3: The resultant lift peeled from the can. Print will not rub off the lift.
