AFR stands for Automatic Fingerprint Recognition. It is a computerised system to assist in the searching of fingerprints to confirm identity or searching scene of crime marks to trace offenders. The database consists of the fingerprints of all convicted persons fingerprinted throughout Scotland. Q: Can AFR identify fingerprints? A: No, AFR cannot identify fingerprints. It offers trained and experienced fingerprint officers the ability to search a much larger range of fingerprints than is possible with manual systems.
