Patrol Latent Print Kit

The Sirchie Patrol Latent Print Kit (Model MFC100) is purpose-built for law enforcement officers who need field-deployable forensic capability without compromising mobility or response time. Designed specifically for patrol units conducting preliminary crime scene investigation alongside regular patrol duties, this kit bridges the gap between on-scene documentation and lab analysis. Officers working vehicle incidents, property crimes, or any scene requiring rapid latent print evidence collection will find this compact solution indispensable for securing viable fingerprint evidence before scene contamination or degradation occurs.

The Patrol Latent Print Kit contains industry-standard latent print development products that work across common surfaces encountered in vehicular and property crime scenes—from steering wheels and door handles to windows and painted trim. The kit includes 101L black latent print powder (2 oz) for high-contrast development on light surfaces and 144L2 transparent lifting materials for evidence preservation and transport. Weighing just 1.35 pounds and measuring 6.6 x 3.7 x 9.5 inches, the kit fits easily in patrol vehicle equipment bags or duty belts, ensuring officers have proven forensic tools accessible during initial response. Complete field instructions are included, enabling consistent technique application across multiple officers and jurisdictions.

Patrol officers, crime scene technicians, and vehicle investigators benefit most from this kit's portability and comprehensive powder-and-lift system. Real-world application in traffic stop investigations, vehicle theft documentation, and residential burglary scenes demonstrates the kit's value for capturing suspect contact evidence at the point of crime. The included powder formulations work on metal, plastic, glass, and vinyl surfaces—common materials in automotive environments—making this kit equally effective for vehicle-related incidents and traditional patrol crime scenes. For departments standardizing forensic evidence collection protocols, this Sirchie system ensures field-ready capability that supports chain-of-custody requirements and courtroom-admissible documentation.
