The Cal-I D section examines latent fingerprints and compares them for entry into the Cal-ID computer system. There the prints are searched in the California Department of Justice database for identification. We serve the entire county, including other local law enforcement agencies.
The Property Room is responsible for the storage and security of evidence, found property held for safekeeping, as well as being the transmittal point for all items of evidence being submitted to the Crime Lab.
