Sheriff’s Office Offers Free Fingerprinting For Children Saturday

January 20, 2012

Free fingerprinting for children will be available this Saturday at the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office Substation in Century.

The fingerprinting will be offered from 9 a.m. until 1 pm. at the substation located at 7500 North Century Boulevard. The fingerprints are for family records only; the Sheriff’s Office will not retain copies of the prints, according to  a news release.

The event will be hosted by the Sheriff’s Office Explorers, a voluntary program that educates and involves young people in law enforcement operations whether or not they choose to enter a career in law enforcement. Members gain a working knowledge of police work and have the opportunity to serve their community.

Explorers receive training in patrol procedure, first aid, honor guard, criminal law, crime prevention, finger-printing, arrest techniques, drug abuse prevention, firearms safety, crime scene techniques and more.

    EXTREMELY dissapointed! We were there @ 11:30 am and there was NOONE there! Also we were not the only people in the parking lot wondering where everyone was.

    We called the other office number and were told “They clocked out and went home!” We and more parents were looking forward to this and the educational value.

    To boot …. we walked into the building looking for someone ….. then when we called to find out what was going on. It was obviously the place had been left UNLOCKED and UNATTENDED! Lucky we went in not some theif …. especially if theirs any weapons kept there! Escambia County PD ….. very dissapointed
