A fingerprint Deputy shall be requested to take latent prints when:
- The vehicle stolen (from any jurisdiction) is less than six years old and was recovered stripped of major identifiable parts;
- The vehicle stolen (from any jurisdiction) was recovered or impounded and such vehicle had been involved in a crime other than GTA; and/or
- Another law enforcement agency specifically requests a fingerprint examination on a vehicle stolen from their jurisdiction or involved in a crime in their jurisdiction.
The impounded vehicle report shall include a notation "print Deputy requested" and a regular request shall then be made for a print Deputy.
In emergency cases, the Unit Commander shall be advised of the circumstances, and he shall be responsible for authorizing a direct request for a print Deputy at the scene.
