Lee County Sheriff\u2019s Office personnel have provided a service, commonly referred to as manual fingerprinting, for\u00a0many years. Thousands of citizens have come to rely on this service when they were mandated to submit their fingerprints for employment in a variety of fields. As computer and digital technology advanced, electronic fingerprinting was introduced and now has become the mainstay.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Standards for submitting fingerprints are set by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). In compliance with the latest requirements where manual fingerprints will no longer be accepted, the Sheriff\u2019s Office converted to the electronic fingerprinting system, while still performing manual prints. The final touches of updating current machines, and the installation of two new ones, is being completed this week at area District Offices, thus bringing an end to the need for manual prints.<\/p>\n<p>Those planning to utilize our service should note April 26 through\u00a030, 2012\u00a0the final changeover to the new application will not allow submission of prints.\u00a0 Service is expected to resume on May 1, 2012.<\/p>\n<p>The fee for fingerprinting is $5.00 dollars.
