1. Fingerprint Basics Recognizing Level One Patterns By Terri Lake

2. How you can tell it's me? If you were to look at your fingertips, you would see there are lines and swirls. What does that have to do with me? Fingerprints are unique to everyone. Nobody has the identical prints.

3. Fingerprint Patterns There are three basic types of fingerprints: Loop Whorl Arch

4. Loop Loops contain one delta and have a center

5. Whorls Whorls will have two deltas, or, in some cases, the pattern may be a compilation of two patterns.

6. Arch Arches will not have any deltas or centers. They can look like a tent (or part of a triangle) or like a hill.
