The equipment that many agencies have may be unable to capture the entire palm print in a single image due to a small scanning surface that only prints portions of the submission at a time . The FBI urges those agencies to capture each portion of the palm print submission completely so the system can create a complete record from those portions . Agencies can consult and download the FBI ’ s “ Palm Print Capture ” poster for guidance on how to record a complete set of palm prints .
To support partner agencies and ensure NPPS has a gallery of high-quality palm prints , the FBI is proactively working with state submitting agencies to address any palm print enrollment issues the state may have . Also , a palm print capture guide and additional references are available . We encourage law enforcement agencies to contact the Palm Services and Analysis Team at 304-625-2849 or email : palm _ prints @ fbu . gov . FBI palm print subject matter experts are ready to help .
The NGI system uses the sections of a complete palm print submission to link the parts of the palm and the fingerprints together in a verified record .
The “ Palm Print Capture ” poster shows how to record a 4 or 6 image palm print submission .
