What might be a reason for receiving a No Hit Response?

• A. High fingerprint quality
• B. Single fingerprint image transmitted
• C. Multiple fingerprint images transmitted
• D. Criminal record found

Answer: (C)

A No Hit Response typically indicates that the submitted fingerprints do not match any records in the fingerprint database. When multiple fingerprint images are transmitted, it is possible that the system may process them and determine that none correspond to existing records, leading to a No Hit Response. This situation can arise when the submitted fingerprints either belong to individuals who have not been arrested or do not have any criminal history on file. In contrast, a scenario involving a high-quality fingerprint (which would enhance the likelihood of matching) or a single fingerprint image transmitted (which could also yield a match if a record exists) would not likely result in a No Hit Response if there is an existing match. Finding a criminal record, on the other hand, means a match was made and would not produce a No Hit Response at all. Thus, transmitting multiple images without success in finding a match is a reasonable explanation for receiving a No Hit Response.
