Finger Print searcher during 1964. The nomenclature of posts, pay
scale and Recruitment rules of Tamilnadu Finger Print Bureau were
adopted. These posts were categorized as Technical.

purchased. No staff was sanctioned to work it out efficiently.
A post of
Tester Sub Inspector was created during 1970 to permit an Expert of
this Bureau to enter into the Jail as per the provision of section 2
