ELECTRONIC FINGERPRINTING UPDATES POLICE TECHNOLOGY

LiveScan is an inkless, electronic fingerprinting process for transmitting information to various state and federal agencies for identity and criminal record verification when someone is arrested for a Class C or above criminal offense.  The electronic process will eliminate many of the problems associated with ink prints such as smudging, smearing, over- or under-inking and speeds up the processing to hours instead of days. 

How does it work?  Following an arrest, an officer will scan the fingerprints of the arrestee using a touch print panel.  The process reduces the likelihood of illegible fingerprints or missing information on the fingerprint card.  It is faster and cleaner than the old method and the officer knows immediately if the print is of sufficient quality.

Some jobs require fingerprints, including real estate licensees, notaries, vehicle dealers, driving instructors, foster parents, teachers, appraisers, elder care givers, as well as anyone having contact with children or the elderly, to name a few.

This system can interface with the automated fingerprint identification system and results with name and criminal history comes in minutes instead of days.  Electronic fingerprinting is fast becoming an internationally recognized form of identification and we are pleased that Sachse is able to offer the latest in police technology.


2008 TOY DRIVE KICKS OFF WITH $250 DONATION


Tracy Pounders with Linebarger, Goggan, Blair & Sampson, LLP, the city's tax attorneys, donated $250 cash to the Sachse Fraternal Order of Police Christmas Toy Drive for 2008.  The 2007 campaign was very successful and the organization was able to provide toys for several needy families in the Sachse area with a few left to carry over for next year.  Mr. Pounders feels that the FOP Toy Drive is an extremely worthwhile cause and was pleased to be the first cash contributor for the 2008 drive.  Pictured left to right: Police Chief Dennis Veach, Tracy Pounders, Officer Ronnie Davis and Sergeant Richard Oliver.  Officer Davis and Sergeant Oliver have been involved with the Sachse FOP and Christmas Toy Drive for several years and enjoy being able to provide Santa Clause to as many children as possible.
