Experts hail fingerprint service

Aug 28 2008

Improvements have been made in the fingerprint service since the Shirley McKie controversy of recent years, international experts have said.

But some reservations remained in the verdict of a global trio on progress made in the Scottish Police Service Authority (SPSA) since work began to introduce a fingerprint action plan in 2006.

And SNP MSP Alex Neil, who campaigned on behalf of the McKie family, said that "considerable problems" still remain within the service.
