The business offers forensic document examination, latent print examination and crime scene analysis, according to police.
On Aug. 24, Halterman gave sworn testimony by phone on a pending case from Iowa in which he claimed to have completed more than 4,000 hours of training with a qualified document examiner, police said. He also claimed to have a completion certificate from the course, according to police. Police say those statements are not true.
Halterman is a non-sworn employee at the Anchorage Police Department, where he is a latent print examiner. Police said he does not examine documents for the department.
He is due in court to be arraigned next week.
