I posted this in an existing thread, but maybe I should have started a new one (?).
My character is a police officer in 1988 in Florida. He needs to compare a known print on a drinking glass to a few letters and envelopes that may or may not have prints (he doesn't know).
Can anyone tell me approximately how long this would take?
Also, is it something that would be done on the premises at the station where he works? (He is in a relatively small town.)
Lastly, would I be using correct phrasing if he said to his colleague, "How soon can you run these for prints? I'm looking to do a comparison."?
Thank you!
