Cy — WORK AND FUNCTIONS OF THE DIVISION OF INVESTIGATION ae very gratifying, but despite the Splendid results which have been accomplished, it is felt that this Division can render even more effective service when it receives all of the fingerprint records - : which law-enforcement officials are in a position to furnish.. It: - is obvious that even better service can be given by the Division as its records become more complete. All peace officers are therefor invited to make the fullest possible use of this cooperative project. A pamphlet has been prepared and is available entitled - “How to Take Fingerprints," which contains instructions concerning & simple and standardized method of taking fingerprints, and which also refers further to the Division's identification activities, in- cluding its participation in an international exchange of Pinger- prints with the identification bureaus of - foreign countries for the purpose of identifying criminals who may have records of an international character. The prints of persons arrested in the United States will be sent upon request to any of these foreign __ . identification bureaus. Any law-enforcement officer who is now, or may desire to become a contributor of fingerprints to the Divi- sion of Investigation in its identification work, will be supplied with a copy of this pamphlet upon request. The cost of the equip- ment necessary to take the prints is trivial; in fact it may be im-- provised locally with but slight expense. This Division will supply the needed cards and envelopes which require no postage, without cost, while the benefits of the information furnished by the Division are manifold and so far outweigh the relatively small amount of work in- - volved, that the service ig usually continued after initial finger- printing activities are started. oO ne 12
