Health & Safety

Please be assured, ensuring your health and safety as well as the health and safety of our staff providing this service is of utmost concern. Precautions are in place as follows:  Fingerprint Technicians will sanitize their hands between customers and disinfect surfaces that come in contact with customers regularly; customers are asked to wash their hands before fingerprinting; increased cleaning protocols have been implemented related to high-touch surfaces (e.g. door handles, keyboards, counters, and chairs); and HVAC settings have been raised to include a higher rate of outside air and a faster rate of exchange for outside air. Employees and visitors are required to use masks/face covering in all shared spaces and when maintaining a six (6) foot distance apart is not possible. Therefore, you will be required to wear a mask during the entire visit; estimated between 30-45 minutes.  Below are additional ways that we can work together to keep you and staff safe.
