I am a tenprint examiner for the King County Sheriff's Office. Almost. Technically, I am still on probation since I just started six months ago. I'll be a genuine tenprint examiner after my one year probation period. Tenprint refers to the fingerprint card (ten fingers, ten prints...) with which I work and verify. The prints I work with are complete rolled prints (usually) from a card. I'm typically verifying the identity of an individual who is being booked into the jail.
Fingerprint identification has developed over hundreds of years and is still the easiest and most reliable way to identify an individual. Names, dates of birth, social security numbers, etc. mean nothing to us. We only ID someone through fingerprints.
