Child fingerprinting is done, by special request, through the Crime Prevention Section.  This is generally done in conjunction with a special event at a school or in the community.  There is no charge for child fingerprinting, but the child must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.  In some circumstances, a take-home do-it-yourself fingerprint packet may be given to the parent.
