Latent Print Section
Backlog in comparisons: 2,310Backlog in processing: 206
Why has the backlog increased?• Improved CSU training in latent lifts means more items per case
making it more time consuming to complete a case • Currently four examiners in training

• Lean six sigma process improvement project will look for opportunities for improvement and consider staffing needs to meet casework demands
