Yes, the coroner is prepared and the ways they take the fingerprints from a crime scene is by using chemicals and tape to recover them. They do it gy dusting a smooth or nonporous surface with fingerprint powder (black granular, aluminum flakes, magnetic, etc. Thank you.

Fingerprints are easy to take provided they are on solid objects. Almost impossible to take from most fabrics, however.
