Major General Dr. Ahmad Eid Al Mansouri, Director of the General Department of Forensics and Criminology, said that the device is a significant upgrade from the gelatin-based traditional method that involved manually transferring latent prints to laboratories for comparison.
He said the smart device will help in solving crimes and building reliable physical evidence.
The department had started developing the smart device in 2018 to enhance performance and speed up the pace of verifying fingerprints.
