E. Place notations in the individual fingerprint blocks to explain any permanent disability that<br />
a specific finger may display. Permanent disabilities include lack of fingers (born without),<br />
amputations, crippled fingers (bent, broken), deformities (webbed, extra fingers), and old<br />
age.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
“Missing at Birth” - born without certain fingers<br />
“Amputated” - fingers that have been medically or accidentally amputated<br />
“Crippled” - fingers which are bent or crippled so that they are touching the palm and<br />
cannot be moved<br />
“Old Age” - fingerprints of elderly individuals which have very faint ridges<br />
“Best Prints Possible” - fingerprints of persons with calluses or blisters<br />
Also note any drawn or crippled fingers affected by paralysis, arthritis, fractures,<br />
burns, cuts, wounds, blisters, calluses, or long fingernails.<br />
F. Before submitting any fingerprint cards to BCI&I, review the completed cards to ensure<br />
that all the fingerprints are legible. If not all prints are legible on the card a fingerprint can<br />
be corrected by using a cover tab. However, no more than two fingers can be reprinted<br />
by using tabs to cover illegible fingerprints. If the card is not legible after using the cover<br />
tabs then the entire card should be reprinted.<br />
The following common errors should be avoided when producing inked<br />
fingerprints:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Print(s) not fully rolled<br />
Impressions not fully made<br />
Uneven inking<br />
Excess moisture<br />
Prints which are not centered within the fingerprint blocks<br />
Smeared prints caused by slipping of fingers<br />
Very light prints<br />
Very dark or smudged prints<br />
9.1.2 Fingerprints Required<br />
Fingerprints are required to be taken for all individuals who have been arrested and brought into<br />
the temporary holding facility (THF) for felony and misdemeanor offenses, including misdemeanor<br />
traffic offenses. The fingerprint card and disposition sheet are to be submitted with the arrest<br />
packet.<br />
Detailed information on how to complete all fingerprint cards and the final disposition report can<br />
be found in the white binder labeled “Fingerprints” located in the THF.<br />
A. Fingerprints are required for all adults arrested and processed in the THF (Misdemeanor<br />
Traffic, Escalating Misdemeanors, Misdemeanor Criminal, and Felony charges). For a<br />
complete list of Escalating Misdemeanors, see Addendum A.<br />
B. Juveniles – Juvenile fingerprints are required for each and every arrest that involves a<br />
felony or escalating misdemeanor (see Addendum A). The difference between<br />
fingerprinting juveniles and adults is the BCI&I card. The BCI&I juvenile fingerprint card is<br />
similar to the BCI&I criminal fingerprint card with the exception of being printed with green<br />
ink and having “JUVENILE” printed on the upper left corner.<br />
