• IBIS and NIBIN systems enable rapid search and retrieval of fired evidence from dif- ferent cases.
• Handwriting is individual. With very rare exceptions, identifications or exclusions can be made following a comparison by a qualified examiner, if sufficient evidence and appropriate standards are available.
• As stated by SWGDOC, document examiners can determine the authenticity of a document, include or exclude a person or machine as the source of the writing, and preserve or restore the readability of a document.
• Different types of light (such as ultraviolet or infrared lighting) may detect altera- tions in a written document, while the electrostatic detection apparatus can help make indented writing visible.
