1. Identification in police investigation

Identification is a most important and vital function of the investigator in any investigation he may conduct.

Some of the methods frequently employed are: portrait parle¹, photography and Identikit.

The portrait parle is defined as a verbal picture or description of a human body. It was devised in 1882 by Alphonse Bertillon, a young clerk in the Paris police and is still used as the oldest means of making a physical description. Such commonly used points of personal physical description are ordinarily employed: ethnic data, height, build, head shape, face shape, complexion, hair, eyes, eyebrows, nose, mouth, chin, ears, scars, deformities, common blood types, physical defects.

Photography is widely used in identification. Not infrequently witnesses and even officers experience difficulty in accurately describing a person, but when they are shown a photograph they are able to make a positive identification of a person.

The Identikit. In recent years, some of the particular sizes, shapes, angles and other features of the human head have been standardized to the point, that with a description and the manipulation of various plastic overlays of the Identikit, an accurate picture of a person can be made in black and white in a period of a few minutes. Such a picture then may be transmitted by teletype to other agencies, and subsequently printed in newspapers if necessary. This process has truly been an achievement and advancement in the field of identification.
