Female, 49
I spent the five happiest years of my life in a morgue. As a forensic scientist in the Cleveland coroner’s office I analyzed gunshot residue on hands and clothing, hairs, fibers, paint, glass, DNA, blood and many other forms of trace evidence, as well as crime scenes. Now I'm a certified latent print examiner and CSI for a police department in Florida. I also write a series of forensic suspense novels, turning the day job into fiction. My books have been translated into six languages.
This may vary by county or state, but I am not because I'm a civilian employee and not a sworn officer.

I'm sure that depends on what material the pants were made of.

No, just attention to detail and patience.
Share Answer: 
I wouldn't have any idea about that.

Toymaker
With all the high-tech kids toys, is there still a demand for traditional ones?
Security / Bodyguard
Are you expected to take a bullet that's meant for someone you're guarding?
Veterinarian
Do you think keeping monkeys as pets is a bad idea?
Not as far as I know. I think that would be too difficult because even if you could assess staleness, you wouldn't know how fast the person smokes a pack, therefore how long the pack had been open, how it had been stored, etc.

Yes, I'll email you when I'm back at work tomorrow.
Share Answer: 
The only areas of the body with friction ridges are the palms and fingers of the hand and the soles of the feet. They could not possibly be found on gloves. I don't know if there's a paper that states that...it's kind of like finding research to say that an apple is not an Orange. However if you search 'identifying glove prints ' you could probably find what you need. Best of luck.
