"u1iiuutOtt, i. <II. The Federa l Bureau of Investigation has always welcomed every oppor tuni ty to assist law enforcement officials and to encourage a comprehensive and enthusiastic cooperation among those engaged in combating crime . Many facilities of the FBI have been made available to law enforce ment agencies throughout the country ; the assistance offered by the Identifi cation Division , the Technical Laboratory , and through the preparation of crime statistics are well known. The FBI has published, each month , the Fugitives Wanted by Police Bulletin , in which has appeared information concerning fugitives and articles pertaining to scientific crime detection or matters which might otherwise be of interest and assistance to the peace officer. Believing that the FBI can be of further aid to the law enforcement officer, the scope of the Fugitive Bul letin is being broadened to provide , not only a means of making nationally known the fugitives wanted by law enforcement agencies , but a national period ical of interest and value in the field of law enforcement . In keeping with the extension of content , the name of the Fugitives Wanted by Police Bulletin has been changed, with this issue , to the FBI Law Enforcement Bul letin. It is intended that this publication should provide a clearing house for police officials regarding successful police methods , a medium for the dissemination of important police information , and a compre hensive literature pertaining to the scientific methods in crime detection and criminal apprehension. It is hoped that the FBI Law Enforcement Bulletin will serve in making available , to law enforcement officers everywhere , subj ect matter of interest to them and of aid to progressive law enforcement . Director. 2 MISSING PERSONS The Federal Bureau of Investigation has no jurisdiction under existing legislation to conduct investigations for the purpose of locating miss ing per sons unŢess the ir apprehension is being sought for the violation of a Federal Statute concerning wh ich the Bureau has investigative jurisdiction, or in which the location of a person is desired as a witness in connection with prosecution for violating of such a Statute. Frequent requests are received for investiga tion by this Bureau to locate individuals on behalf of relatives or friends where no violation of a Federal law is involved . For the information of all law enforcement agencies , attention is called to the fact that, wh ile the Fed eral Bureau of Investigation can conduct no investigation to locate such per sons, it will , at the request of law enforcement agencies, relatives or guard ians , post in the files of the Identification Division of the Bureau a missing person notice containing descriptive data including , when possible , finger prints and photograph of a missing person and in the event information is received indicating the whereabouts of the individual , the persons or agencies placing a request for such a wanted notice will be immediately advised. ********** SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT sa .._ SA _. t£ e. Recently many fingerprint cards have been received in the Bureau 's Identification Division which do not contain the title and address of the con tributing officials, that is, the law enforcement agency forwarding the prints. It is suggested that extreme care be exercised in the proper marking of all fingerprint cards in order that replies thereto may be forwarded to the proper agency. It is also suggested that the name of the person whose fingerprints are submitted be printed or typewritten on the fingerprint cards in order to enable the said name to be read properly. 3 INSTALLATION OF A SINGLE FINGERPRINT FILE FEDERAL BUPšAU OF INVESTIGATION During recent years considerable attention has been given by ident ification offi cers throughout the world to the study of classifying and filing single fingerprints . This branch of the science of fingerprinting differs from the identification systems of Henry , Vucetich, and others in that each finger of the hands is given separate treatment and a classification attained for each digit through an analysis of the ridge formations appearing therein. After its classification , the impression of each finger (mounted or recorded on separate cards ) is filed separately, and it is thus unnecessary to have all the fingerprints of both hands to effect a subsequent identification . The primary object, of course , of such a system is to file criminal fingerprints in such a manner that accidental or latent fingerprints such as may be found at the scene of a crime may be searched against the file in an effort to identify them . Incidentally , the deve lopment of the single finger print system tends to provide information which is frequently needed for the further extension
